In this paper we deal with an enlarged theory of binary mixtures: a second gradient solid constituent and a perfect fluid are considered. On the basis of this assumptions we obtain, for a linear elastic hollow cylinder, a set of density profiles of the solid matrix, parameterized by a suitable energetic coupling coefficient and characterized by the presence of boundary layers arising at the external surfaces of the body. A structural stability analysis of the partial differential equations, governing the motion of the mixture, is also developed, in a case which may be of interest in applications to underground structural engineering.
