This book treats the mechanics of porous materials infiltrated
with a fluid (poromechanics), focussing on its linear theory
(poroelasticity). Porous materials from inanimate bodies such as
sand, soil and rock, living bodies such as plant tissue, animal
flesh, or man-made materials can look very different due to their
different origins, but as readers will see, the underlying
physical principles governing their mechanical behaviors can be
the same, making this work relevant not only to engineers but
also to scientists across other scientific disciplines.

Readers will find discussions of physical phenomena including
soil consolidation, land subsidence, slope stability, borehole
failure, hydraulic fracturing, water wave and seabed interaction,
earthquake aftershock, fluid injection induced seismicity and
heat induced pore pressure spalling as well as discussions of
seismoelectric and seismoelectromagnetic effects. The work also
explores the biomechanics of cartilage, bone and blood vessels.

Chapters present theory using an intuitive, phenomenological
approach at the bulk continuum level, and a thermodynamics-based
variational energy approach at the micromechanical level. The
physical mechanisms covered extend from the quasi-static theory
of poroelasticity to poroelastodynamics, poroviscoelasticity,
porothermoelasticity, and porochemoelasticity. Closed form
analytical solutions are derived in details.

This book provides an excellent introduction to linear
poroelasticity and is especially relevant to those involved in
civil engineering, petroleum and reservoir engineering, rock
mechanics, hydrology, geophysics, and biomechanics.
