Large deformations of a soft porous material

Compressing a porous material will decrease the volume of the pore space, driving fluid out. Similarly, injecting fluid into a porous material can expand the pore space, distorting the solid skeleton. This poromechanical coupling has applications ranging from tissue mechanics to hydrogeology. The cl...
