In the drained simple test the material behaves as
there were no fluid in pores. Hence the stress strain
relation should be the same as in the classical elasti-

where is the Poissons number.
Simultaneously speeds of propagation react weakly on changes
of Poissons number see: results of Carlo Lai. Hence we can
choose, for instance, =0.2 and either calculate K
d
(K
b
) from the
above formula provided
S
was measured by the speed of shear
wave or calculate
S
provided K
d
(K
b
) is given empirically.
Important practical case: given two speeds of propagation
(P1- and shear wave) and the Poissons number. Then
by means of MICRO-MACRO one can calculate porosity
(inverse problem).

2. Gassmann like relations, derived for the extended
model with a dependence on porosity gradient by means
of the Micro-MacroTransition for homogeneous microstru-
cture satisfy ALL compatibility relations for simple tests
and yield in the limit the classical Gassmann relations.
1. Biots model follows as a limit case of a gene-
ral thermodynamic model provided the relaxation
of porosity is neglected.
3. In order to fulfil geometrical compatibility relations of
micro-macrotransition the porosity balance equation must be
corrected on an equilibrium contribution to the source term.
4. Micro-MacroTransition gives rise to a possibility of a natu-
ral description of processes in unsaturated granular
materials.
