The concept of a porous medium originally emerged in Soil Mechanics , and in particular in the works of Karl Von Terzaghi , the father of soil mechanics. However a more general concept of a poroelastic medium, independent of its nature or application, is usually attributed to Maurice Anthony Biot ( 1905 - 1985 ), a Belgian-American physicist. In a series of papers published between 1935 and 1957 Biot developed the theory of dynamic poroelasticity (now known as Biot theory) which gives a complete and general description of the mechanical behaviour of a poroelastic medium. Biot's Equation s of the Linear Theory of poroelasticity are derived from
One of the key findings of the theory of poroelasticity is that in poroelastic media there exist three types of elastic and Fritz Gassmann.
