The study demonstrates that the representative volume of standard cylindrical samples of rocks, concrete and asphalt represents a continuum from which samples are extracted or structures will be built. The rheological-dynamical analogy (RDA) is used as evidence, along with standard experimental data from the samples and the velocities of P and S waves obtained through ultrasonic testing. Unlike all previously existing theories of multiphase materials, the RDA theory uniformly describes the solid state and fluid flow within the representative volume. The solid state and fluid flow are functionally connected by rheological parameters. Plastic viscosity coefficients describe (memorize) the matter in fluid flow at the moment of its natural formation or artificial preparation.
