Abstract
The continuum theory of porous materials respecting the internal discontinuity of these materials, is formulated in this paper. It is shown that porous material can be studied in two classes of continua (continua associated with volume and mass average quantities), five different kinds existing in each class. The relation of these classes and kinds to various parts and configurations of the porous medium is defined. Transformation equations between the classes and kinds are determined. The value of the principle of superposition of “components” is discussed and the principle of superposition of states is formulated.
