Looking at rational mixture theories within the context of a new perspective, this work aims to put forward a proposal for an Eshelbian approach to the nonlinear mechanics of a constrained solid-fluid mixture, made up of an inhomogeneous poroelastic solid and an inviscid compressible fluid, which do not undergo any chemical reaction.
Looking at rational solid-fluid mixture theories in the context of their biomechanical perspectives, this work aims at proposing a two-scale constitutive theory of a poroelastic solid infused with an inviscid compressible fluid. The propagation of steady-state harmonic plane waves in unbounded media is investigated in both cases of unconstrained solid-fluid mixtures and fluid-saturated poroelastic solids. Relevant effects on the resulting characteristic speed of longitudinal and transverse elastic waves, due to the constitutive parameters introduced, are finally highlighted and discussed.
