Poromechanics V Proceedings of the Fifth Biot Conference on Poromechanics

Proceedings of the Fifth Biot Conference on Poromechanics, held in Vienna, Austria, July 10-12, 2013. Sponsored by the Vienna University of Technology; the Engineering Mechanics Institute of ASCE.This collection contains 297 papers reflecting the advances in poromechanics since 2009. Applications of poromechanics in fields as varied as civil and geotechnical engineering, geophysics, acoustics, materials science, and bioengineering were addressed.Topics covered include:Biot theory in seismic wave propagation and dynamic poroelasticity for rocksMechanics of fluid-infiltrated earth materialsBlast and impact responses of porous mediaMulti-scale poromechanics of geomaterials and biomaterialsMulti-scale modeling and simulation of granular and porous mediaPoromechanical behavior of microporous and mesoporous materialsBiomechanics and biophysics of soft tissue and boneMulti-physics numerical modeling of geomaterialsComputational poromechanicsExperimental characterization and constitutive modeling of porous materialsModeling of underground storage of wastes and hydrocarbonsGas shale poromechanics at all scalesGeotechnical engineering applications and the mechanics of cohesive soilsCivil and geotechnical engineers, geophysicists, material scientists, and bio-engineering researchers will find these proceedings an excellent reference on poromechanics.
