| Abstract: | Biological and artificial tissues like muscles, brain material, saturated paper or other functionally graded porous materials often show a transverse isotropic permeability caused by their inner structure. The transverse isotropic permeability influences the motion of the saturating fluid and with this the overall deformation state of the mixture body. Starting with the multi-phase Theory of Porous Media, a model is presented to describe this deformation affected by the anisotropic inner permeability. (© 2008 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
