Poroelasticity is a well-developed theory for the interaction of fluid and solid phases of a fluid-
saturated porous medium. It is widely used in geomechanics and has been applied to bone …

This article presents an overview on poroelastodynamic models and some analytical
solutions. A brief summary of Biot's theory and of other poroelastic dynamic governing …

The mechanical sciences are old and venerable. But age does not protect from stupidity.
The Cremona-plan and the theorem of the parallelogram of forces in their seniority have …

Responding to the latest developments in rock physics research, this popular reference
book has been thoroughly updated while retaining its comprehensive coverage of the …

This definitive guide covers the design and application of absorbers and diffusers in
acoustics. Surface diffusion is a relatively young subject area, and diffuser design …

This second edition of the Bone Mechanics Handbook summarizes the current

The velocities and attenuation of seismic and acoustic waves in rocks with fluids are affected
by the two most important modes of fluid/solid interaction:(1) the Biot mechanism where the …

Viscoelastic Solids covers the mathematical theory of viscoelasticity and physical insights,
causal mechanisms, and practical applications. The book: presents a development of the …

Ultrasonics. A subject with applications across all the basic sciences, engineering, medicine,
