During the last decades, continuum mechanics of porous materials
has achieved great attention, since it allows for the consideration
of the volumetrically coupled behaviour of the solid matrix
deformation and the pore-fluid flow. Naturally, applications of
porous media models range from civil and environmental engineering,
where, e. g. , geote- nical problems like the consolidation problem
are of great interest, via mechanical engineering, where, e. g. ,
the description of sinter materials or polymeric and metallic foams
is a typical problem, to chemical and biomechanical engineering,
where, e. g. , the complex structure of l- ing tissues is studied.
Although these applications are principally very different, they
basically fall into the category of multiphase materials, which can
be described, on the macroscale, within the framework of the
well-founded Theory of Porous Media (TPM). With the increasing
power of computer hardware together with the rapidly decreasing
computational costs, numerical solutions of complex coupled
problems became possible and have been seriously investigated.
However, since the quality of the numerical solutions strongly
depends on the quality of the underlying physical model together
with the experimental and mathematical possibilities to
successfully determine realistic material parameters, a successful
treatment of porous materials requires a joint consideration of
continuum mechanics, experimental mechanics and numerical methods.
In addition, micromechanical - vestigations and homogenization
techniques are very helpful to increase the phenomenological
understanding of such media.
