Abstract
Macroscopic constitutive equations for thermo-viscoelastic processes in a fully saturated porous medium are re-derived from basic principles of micromechanics applicable to solid multi-phase materials such as composites. Simple derivations of the constitutive relations and the void occupancy relationship are presented. The derivations use the notion of eigenstrain or, equivalently, eigenstress applied to the separate phases of a porous medium. Governing coupled equations for the displacement components and the fluid pressure are also obtained.
