This volume presents a comprehensive overview of recent advancements in the Theory of Porous Media (TPM), covering essential theoretical concepts in continuum mechanics related to porous and multiphasic materials, alongside a variety of experimental and numerical applications. It caters not only to sophisticated readers but also to beginners interested in the field by compiling articles from experts that explore fundamental approaches to multiphasic and porous materials, as well as their engineering applications. In numerous engineering disciplines and applied natural sciences, such as bio- and chemomechanics, practitioners often encounter continuum mechanical problems that defy classification within traditional "solid mechanics" or "fluid mechanics." These challenges necessitate a unified approach to volumetrically coupled solid-fluid aggregates, typically categorized as mixtures or porous media. The range of issues addressed includes the analysis of reacting fluid mixtures, solid-fluid suspensions, and the interplay between solid deformation and pore-fluid flow in liquid- and gas-saturated porous materials, encompassing geomaterials (soil, rock, concrete), polymeric and metallic foams, and biomaterials (hard and soft tissues).
