The physical nature of damping in soils and its mathematical formulation attempts have been the subject of intensive researches along the last half century. These several trials to explain the mechanisms of energy loss during vibration episodes arise from the importance of damping in the wave propagation problem for engineering purposes. The aim of this study is to propose an alternative way to analyze the damping phenomenon in soils by looking at the vibration problem as a coupled poromechanical mathematical problem where relative displacements and velocities in between the two phases that compose the geological material, fluid and solid, generates interaction forces at the interfaces and can play an important role in the vibrational energy loss of soils. The problem is assumed to be solved at the pore scale, focusing on the kinetic and dynamic conditions at the interface in between the solid skeleton and the saturating fluid. Dimensionless variables that mixes fluid and solid properties allows the coupling of the problem, resulting on the rising of an apparent mass, damping and stiffness coefficients that will be introduced later in the equations of motion. The proposed equation of damping will thus be juxtaposed to laboratory tests data and a comparison with the most important models in the literature will be done further using the software DEEPSOIL for wave propagation analysis to check its validity.
