An Eulerian, hyperbolic, multiphase-flow model for dynamic and irreversible compaction of porous materials is constructed. A reversible elastic, compressible, material derived. Classical homogenization results are obtained. The then derived in accordance with the following basic principles. First, entropy inequality satisfied by model. Second, stress coming from elastic energy decreases time (t...

Communication protocols typically go through diierent phases, where each one performs a distinct function. Phases are implemented as layers (i.e., a protocol constructed on the OSI model) or as alternative functions (a protocol which can perform many functions, but is limited to performing one at a time). In either case, each phase is itself a protocol which can be modelled as a communicating n...
