Abstract

The equations associated with the theory of anisotropic poroelastic materials undergoing small deformations are recast in a matrix notation where the matrices are composed of proper tensor components. Using this notation the compatibility conditions on the components of the strain tensor are expressed in terms of the stress tensor, the pore pressure and the anisotropic elastic coefficients of the medium.
