A method is developed for derivation of effective constitutive equations for porous nonlinear-elastic materials undergoing finite strains. It is shown that the effective constitutive equations that are derived using the proposed approach do not change if a rigid motion is superimposed on the deformation. An approach is proposed for the computation of effective characteristics for nonlinear-elastic materials in which pores are originated after a preliminary loading. This approach is based on the theory of superimposed finite deformations. The results of computations are presented for plane strain, when pores are distributed uniformly.
