Research in this area of mechanics attracts scientists from a variety of backgrounds. For simulating the mechanical behavior of cohesive granular materials, two different frameworks of modeling and analysis have emerged: continuum-based models and discrete particle methods. In this book, both continuous and discontinuous modeling are applied to analyze the behavior of cohesive-frictional materials. This volume contains selected lectures that bridge the gap between continuous and discontinuous modeling. |

| Publisher Description: This progressive volume of lectures, written by leading experts on current developments in the field, is a must-read for engineers in physics, mechanics and engineering applications alike. Focusing on both continuous and discontinuous modelling, this topical symposium raises the issue of cohesive-frictional materials and the importance of understanding their mechanical behaviour in determining their correct use in engineering and scientific applications. A subject that has attracted a great deal of attention from scientists and engineers, from a variety of fields, this book is not only essential reading for professionals within the discipline, but also an insightful text for graduates wanting to learn more about the topic. |
