Description
Book SynopsisIntended as a first introduction to the micromechanics of porous media, this book entitled "Microporomechanics" deals with the mechanics and physics of multiphase porous materials at nano and micro scales. It is composed of a logical and didactic build up from fundamental concepts to state-of-the-art theories.
