The mechanical balance equations for a body with microstructure are derived from an
expansion of the general Noll's axiom of frame-indifference that takes into account the …

We propose a multi-scale view on the motion of grains inside a continuum body undergoing
strain. We consider the whole compound as a mixture and attribute to every material point …

In this paper we formulate balance principles for an immiscible mixture of continua with
microstructure in the broadest sense to include, eg, diffusion and adsorption phenomena …

The first attempts to describe the behaviour of porous materials with the use of an additional
degree of kinematical freedom, in order to refine the Cauchy's theory, are due principally to …

Dynamic and thermodynamic balance principles for porous materials consisting of three
components are deduced by using, as a logical tool, only three fundamental principles …

In environmental geotechnics, transportation calculations for unsaturated soils have to
account for pore-water suction, air content, presence of colloids, diffusion mechanism and …
