Abstract
Miscible multiphasic materials like classical mixtures as well as immiscible materials like saturated and partially saturated porous media can be successfully described on the common basis of the well-founded Theory of Mixtures (TM) or the Theory of Porous Media (TPM). In particular, both the TM and the TPM provide an excellent frame for a macroscopic description of a broad variety of engineering applications and further problems in applied natural sciences. The present article portrays both the standard and the micropolar approaches to multiphasic materials reflecting their mechanical and their thermodynamical frameworks. Including some constitutive models and various illustrative numerical examples, the article can be understood as a reference paper to all the following articles of this volume on theoretical, experimental and numerical investigations in the Theory of Porous Media.
