Modeling the constitutive behavior of biological tissues often involves anisotropy, hyperelasticity, viscoelasticity, and poroelasticity. I am looking for a good monograph/paper/textbook that presents a general constitutive modeling framework where these aspects are presented in an interconnected way. Most references treat these aspects separately, perhaps devoting a chapter to every aspect.

Overview and Objectives
Ares Rosakis Sc.M.’80 Ph.D.’83 from Brown University was awarded the 2011 A. CermalEringen
Medal of the Society of Engineering Science (SES) in recognition of
hissustained contributions to dynamic fracture mechanics and methods to
determinestresses in thin film structures. Medalists for 2011 were
announced at therecent 48th Annual Technical Meeting of SES at
Northwestern University.
I am familiar with the flow theory version of the plasticity theory but still quite confused with the deformation theory version of the same.
When a material is modeled using a non-linear elastic model to predict its plastic behavior with no distinction between the elastic and the plastic strain, is it a deformation theory in that case?
Any elaboration in this regard would be really helpful.
Thanks in advance.
