Using a fresh, modern approach to the mechanics of materials, the focus of this book is on a unified mechanistic approach that uses energy concepts for modeling a large range of engineering material behavior. In the presentation, 1D-Think models lead to the development of various fundamentals of continuum mechanics, such as deformation and strain, momentum balance, stress and stress states, thermoelasticity and elasticity bounds, plasticity and yield design. Topics covered includes a description of finite deformation, infinitesimal deformation, momentum balance and stress, stress and stress states, thermoelasticity, the theorem of virtual work and variational methods in elasticity, 1D-plasticity, plasticity models and limit analysis and yield design. For Civil Engineers and Mechanical Engineers.

Modelling 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: <ul>
<li>New material for: <ul>
<li>Partially saturated porous media</li> <li>Reactive porous media</li> <li>Macroscopic electrical effects</li> </ul>
</li> <li>A single theoretical framework to the subject to explain the interdisciplinary nature of the subject</li> <li>Exercises at the end of each chapter to aid understanding</li> </ul>
The unified approach taken by this text makes it a valuable addition to the bookshelf of every PhD student and researcher in civil engineering, petroleum engineering, geophysics, biomechanics and material science.

Poromechanics

wiley

This book provides a unified and systematic continuum approach for engineers and applied physicists working on the modelling of porous media. Self-contained, it sets out—from a macroscopic point of view—the main concepts and results of deformable porous media subject to the flow of one or several fluids. The theory presented includes developments in the areas of thermodynamics, poroelastoplasticity, poroviscoplasticity, wave propagation and surfaces of discontinuity, boundary value problems and numerical methods, as well as chemico-mechanical couplings. It can be used for numerous diversified applications in geophysics, civil engineering, biomechanics, material science, etc.

Mechanics of Porous Continua

NOTE - this book is a wire bound version not a traditional hard bound book (see picture). It was published in 1987 by Gulf Publishing company. However, it still has all the information of the hard bound book.
