Chemo-Mechanical Couplings in Porous Media Geomechanics a...
Huyghe, Jacques M. / Loret, Benjamin
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 and mechanical aspects involved in swelling and chemical consolidation. Emphasis is laid on the influence of these phenomena on mechanical propert...
