Continuum mechanics of two-phase porous media

The area of multiphase materials modelling is a well established and growing field in the mechanical scientific community. There has been a tremendous development in recent years including the conceptual theoretical core of multiphase materials modelling, the development of computational methodologies as well as experimental procedures. The applications concern biomechanics, modelling of structural foams, composites modelling, soils, road mechanics etc. Specific related issues concern modelling of: solid-fluid interaction, compressible-incompressible fluids/solids including phenomena like consolidation, compaction, erosion, growth, wetting, drying etc.
