Theory of Linear Poroelasticity with Applications to Geomechanics and Hydrogeology

This book is in a class by itself. Herb Wang writes on the topic of poroelasticity and makes the concept both easy to understand and relevant. A must have for anyone working in a field where both fluid mechanics and geomechanics interact.

good

In fact it is very new and very clean.

I really like this book. It's a great reference. It gives great explanations and makes a very complicated topic easier to understand.

This book is one of the most useful I have come across in recent years. Poroelasticity is a challenging field, but rewarding to those who make the effort to study it. Wang does an excellent job, leading the reader from basic principles to a detailed understanding-with this book you can leapfrog dozens of more arcane works and get to grips with real problems. Yet, if you need the detail, a wide range of previous works are referenced, and put into historical perspective: a true work of synthesis. I hope this book will stimulate more Earth Scientists and Engineers to follow Wang's lead. Figures are as admirably clear as the writing. Only spoiled by the drab cover! This book covers quasi-static poroelasticity theory-consolidation and so on. Now all we need is for someone brave to do the same job on dynamic poroelasticity!

This is a wonderful book, with a wealth of information, and very clearly written. I regret having overlooked it for several years. It also contains many worked examples, from a large variety of references.

This book, written by a member of the didactic Biot Club, goes far beyond where Biot ever though anyone would take his linear approximations. The information and approach is dated, and has no application, although the math is fun. As someone who is in the know has stipulated, "This book does not pass the smell test." A better approach is one that addresses real micromechanical processes, and actual phenomenological behavior of natural porous substances, made in a certified lab.

Product came in great condition. Invaluable resource for the study of poromechanics or biphasic constitutive theories.
