Nonlinear Elasticity and Hysteresis

Fluid-Solid Coupling in Porous Media

Ebook (EPUB Format)

Even such seemingly different materials like wood and sandstone share similarities: both are porous and exhibit hysteretic behavior upon water uptake and evaporation, i.e., their properties depend not only on the current state of the materials, but on the history of state changes. Both materials are examples for strongly-coupled elastic-fluid systems which are ruled by the interplay between the moisture content and the mechanical stress field. Porous materials which exhibit hysteresis are becoming increasingly important for carbon sequestration, multifunctional materials design and mechanical control of surface catalysis.
