Research Interests
I am currently interested in determining constitutive relations for swelling
porous media. A swelling porous medium is any material consisting of two
or more phases which swells due to the addition of more material, the removal
of ions, or the unloading of a pressure load. Examples of swelling porous
media include clays (very pervasive here in the Denver area!), polymers
(such as plastics, or bio-polymers), and cell membranes. Constitutive relations
are the equations unique to the particular medium of interest - as oppose
to the balance laws, such as conservation of mass, momentum, and energy,
which hold for all systems of interest.
