Deformable Porous Media and Composites Manufacturing

  • Chapter
Heterogeneous Media

Abstract

A growing number of industrial activities demands advanced materials that satisfy stringent requirements and lower costs. These requirements, which involve a combination of many properties, can often be satisfied by using a composite material, whose constituents act synergically to solve the needs of application. Modelling the behavior of such a heterogeneous material during its production is a very hard task, but it is very useful for the optimization of the manufacturing process itself. This chapter focuses on the deduction of mathematical models of deformable porous media and on their application to composite materials manufacturing as a first step toward the understanding of this complex process.
