Poroelasticity is a theoretical framework that describes the mechanical behavior of saturated porous materials that contain both a solid matrix and a fluid phase (often water). It combines the principles of elasticity, which deals with the deformation of solids under stress, with those of fluid flow through porous media. Poroelastic materials are commonly found in a variety of natural and engineering contexts, including geological formations, biological tissues, and civil engineering materials.
