Poromechanics III - Biot Centennial (1905-2005)

These proceedings contain the latest advances in the mechanics of porous materials, known as poromechanics. The applications cover many branches of science and engineering, including geophysics, geomechanics, composite materials, biomechanics, acoustics, seismicity, civil, mechanical, environmental, and petroleum engineering. The 3rd Biot Conference held in 2005 at the University of Oklahoma, Norman, Oklahoma, celebrated the centennial birthday of Maurice A. Biot, a pioneer of poromechanics.
