contents A continuum mixture theory is formulated for large deformations, thermal effects, phase interactions, and degradation of soft biologic tissues. Such tissues consist of one or more solid and fluid phases and can demonstrate nonlinear anisotropic elastic, viscoelastic, thermoelastic, and poroelastic physics. Under extremely large or rapid deformations, for example impact or shock loading, tissues may fracture, tear, or rupture. Mechanisms are encompassed in a universal, thermodynamically consistent formulation that combines the continuum theory of mixtures with phase-field mechanics of fracture. A metric tensor of generalized Finsler space supplies geometric insight on effects rearrangements of microstructure, for example degrading collagen fibers. Governing equations are derived, and energy potentials and kinetic laws posited, for generic soft porous tissues with solid and liquid or gas phases. Shock waves are modeled as singular surfaces; Hugoniot states and shock decay are studied analytically. Suitability of the framework for representing blood, skeletal muscle, and liver is demonstrated. Insight into physics presently unresolved by experiments is obtained.
