ISBN: 1402037813 ISBN-13: 9781402037818 Publisher: Springer OUR PRICE: $104.49 Product Type: Hardcover - Other Formats Published: August 2005 Annotation: Granular or particulate materials arise in almost every aspect of our lives, including many familiar materials such as tea, coffee, sugar, sand, cement and powders. At some stage almost every industrial process involves a particulate material, and it is usually the cause of the disruption to the smooth running of the process. In the natural environment, understanding the behaviour of particulate materials is vital in many geophysical processes such as earthquakes, landslides and avalanches. This book is a collection of current research from some of the major contributors in the topic of modelling the behaviour of granular materials. Papers from every area of current activity are included, such as theoretical, numerical, engineering and computational approaches. This book illustrates the numerous diverse approaches to one of the outstanding problems of modern continuum mechanics. Reprinted from Journal of Engineering Mathematics, Vol. 52, Nos. 1-3, 2005 |
