Chemo-Mechanical Couplings in Porous Media Geomechanics and Biomechanics

Chemo-Mechanical Couplings in Porous Media Geomechanics and Biomechanics edited by Benjamin Loret, Jacques M. Huyghe.

The book addresses fundamental issues faced by experimentalists, modelers and engineers interested in different physical, mechanical and transport aspects of biological tissues and chemically active geological materials, mainly clays and shales. The focus is on the couplings between electro-chemical...
