摘要信息
Many construction materials (e.g., concrete and composite) and biological issues (e.g., cartilage bone) are porous media in nature. In civil engineering, modelling porous media is critical for understanding material degradation processes such as corrosion, impact resistance and optimizing fire protection systems. In biomedical engineering, these models are applied to biological tissues, where the porous nature of cartilage and bone underpins their mechanical performance and healing dynamics. This presentation delves into advanced multiphysics modelling techniques for simulating fluid flow, mass transfer, and reactive transport within deformed porous media, offering insights across both disciplines. Recent advances in this research will be highlighted, demonstrating how our work can contribute to more resilient infrastructure and the development of bioinspired materials, ultimately supporting a sustainable future.
