Abstract
In this paper we briefly review a typical example of a mixture of elastic materials, in particular, an elastic solid-fluid mixture as a model for porous media. Application of mixture theories to porous media rests upon certain physical assumptions and appropriate interpretations in order to be consistent with some better-known notions in engineering applications. We shall discuss, for instance, the porosity, pore fluid pressure, effective solid stress and Darcy’s law in this paper.
