Multi-scale structures, as found in nature (eg, bone and bamboo), hold the promise of
achieving superior performance while being intrinsically lightweight, robust, and multi …

One major cause of elastic wave attenuation in heterogeneous porous media is wave-
induced flow of the pore fluid between heterogeneities of various scales. It is believed that …

Widely regarded as the most authoritative and comprehensive book in its field, the fourth
edition of Fundamentals of Rock Mechanics includes new and substantially updated …

This paper is a reconsideration and reformulation of the Mori-Tanaka's theory in its
application to the computation of the effective properties of composites. Previous …

The effective mechanical properties of the octet-truss lattice structured material have been
investigated both experimentally and theoretically. Analytical and FE calculations of the …

Cellular solids can deform by either the bending or stretching of the cell walls. While most
cellular solids are bending-dominated, those that are stretching-dominated are much more …

This is a thoroughly revised version of the original book published in 1986. About half of the
contents of the previous version remain essentially unchanged, and one quarter has been …

The fractal texture (or fabric) of porous media, which supports fluid flow at different scales, is
the main cause of wave anelasticity (dispersion and attenuation) on a wide range of …

This book is a comprehensive treatment of the elastic volumetric response of sandstones to
variations in stress. The theory and data presented apply to the deformations that occur, for …
