Mechanics and Physics of Porous SolidsAuthor(s): Olivier Coussy\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: John Wiley & Sons Inc, United States\nImprint: John Wiley & Sons Inc\nISBN-13: 9780470721353, 978-0470721353\nSynopsis\nMechanics and Physics of Porous Solids addresses the mechanics and physics of deformable porous materials whose porous space is filled by one or several fluid mixtures interacting with the solid matrix. Coussy uses the language of thermodynamics to frame the discussion of this topic and bridge the gap between physicists and engineers, and organises the material in such a way that individual phases are explored, followed by coupled problems of increasing complexity. This structure allows the reader to build a solid understanding of the physical processes occurring in the fluids and then porous solids. Mechanics and Physics of Porous Solids offers a critical reference on the physics of multiphase porous materials - key reading for engineers and researchers in structu.
