Theory of Porous Media: Highlights in Historical Development and Current State (Softcover Reprint of the Original 1st 2000)Paperback - Softcover Reprint of the Original 1st 2000, 18 September 2011

This is a consistent treatment of the material-independent fundamental equations of the theory of porous media, formulating constitutive equations for frictional materials in the elastic and plastic range, while tracing the historical development of the theory. Thus, for the first time, a unique treatment of fluid-saturated porous solids is presented, including an explanation of the corresponding theory by way of its historical progression, and a thorough description of its current state.
