Microporomechanics encapsulates the study of the micromechanics of
porous media. Porosity is the most prominent heterogeneous property
of all natural and most engineered composite materials, and is key
to the understanding and prediction of macroscopic materials
behaviour. As new experimental techniques such as nanoindentation
now provide unprecedented access to micromechanical properties and
morphologies of materials, it becomes possible to trace these
features from the nanoscale to the macroscale of day-to-day
engineering applications, and predict transport properties,
stiffness, strength and deformation behaviours within a consistent
framework of microporomechanics. Authored by recognised leading
experts in the field of microporomechanics Introduces high quality
landmark research that proposes a new framework for the description
of the behaviour of porous materials Composed of a logical and
didactic build-up from fundamental concepts to state-of-the-art
theory Synergises the disparate subject areas of poromechanics and
micromechanics Includes a variety of original problem sets that
provide a hands-on application of the homogenization theories to
specific materials configuration
"Microporomechanics" provides a first introduction to the
micromechanics of porous media, and offers an invaluable resource
for academic and industrial research scientists and engineers. It
will also appeal to graduate students in biomechanics and
bioengineering, civil and environmental engineering, geophysics and
geomechanics, materials science, and engineering related to
petroleum and gas exploration.
