PoromechanicsAuthor(s): Olivier Coussy\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: John Wiley & Sons Inc, United States\nImprint: John Wiley & Sons Inc\nISBN-13: 9780470849200, 978-0470849200\nSynopsis\nModelling and predicting how porous media deform when subjected to external actions and physical phenomena, including the effect of saturating fluids, are of importance to the understanding of geophysics and civil engineering (including soil and rock mechanics and petroleum engineering), as well as in newer areas such as biomechanics and agricultural engineering. Starting from the highly successful First Edition, Coussy has completely re-written Mechanics of Porous Continua/Poromechanics to include:\n\nNew material for:\n\nPartially saturated porous media\nReactive porous media\nMacroscopic electrical effects\n\nA single theoretical framework to the subject to explain the interdisciplinary nature of the subject\nExercises at the end of each chapter to aid understanding\n\n The unified appr.
