The Emergence of Unsaturated Soil Mechanics
It is assumed that a relatively fast rate of shearing results in a small change in
matric suction during the shearing stage. The matric suction at failure will then be
essentially equal to the matric suction at the end of the consolidation stage.
G. W. Wilson, A. W. Clifton, S. L. Barbour, 1999
3.6. Another property that varies with the water content of a porous block is its
thermal diffusivity. In a thermal method for measuring matric potential indirectly, a
pulse of heat is generated at the centre of a ceramic block and the rate at which
the ...

Ecological Climatology: Concepts and Applications
The second force, called the matric potential, occurs because water is attracted to
the solid surfaces of mineral and organic particles. This attraction creates a
negative pressure - a suction - that binds water to the soil matrix. Matric potential
