Poromechanics Committee

The mission of the Poromechanics committee is to:


  1. Promote fundamental and applied research in the mechanics of porous materials using experimental, analytical, and computational techniques and including materials from naturally made (rock, soil, bone, etc.) to man-made (concrete, ceramics, foams, etc.);

  2. Provide a supportive and inclusive network for the researchers and engineers in the field of poromechanics at any stage in their career and with diverse backgrounds;

  3. Disseminate latest research in poromechanics and its essential ideas in the form of workshops, conferences, symposia and dedicated student poster session at the EMI.

Poromechanics Scholarly Products

Access a list of publications authored by the EMI poromechanics committee. The list is interactive. Visitors can read abstracts in one click, and download the manuscripts if they have proper subscriptions. Citations of the publications are downloadable in various formats, including bibtex and cvs.
