Theory of Elasticity and Consolidation for a Porous Anisotropic Solid
M. A. Biot- General Physics and Astronomy
The author's previous theory of elasticity and consolidation for isotropic materials [J. Appl. Phys. 12, 155–164 (1941)] is extended to the general case of anisotropy. The method of derivation is also different and more direct. The particular cases of transverse isotropy and complete isotropy are discussed.
