With Applications to Granular Media: Lecture Notes in Applied and Computational Mechanics

Granular materials are a class of materials that are composed of discrete, solid particles. They are found in a wide variety of natural and industrial settings, including soils, sands, gravels, powders, and slurries. Granular materials exhibit a unique set of mechanical properties that are not found in other materials, such as their ability to flow like a fluid under certain conditions and their ability to support large loads under other conditions.

The mechanical behavior of granular materials is a complex and challenging topic to study. This is due to the fact that granular materials are composed of a large number of particles that interact with each other in a highly nonlinear manner. As a result, the behavior of granular materials can be difficult to predict and model.

With Applications to Granular Media: Lecture Notes in Applied and Computational Mechanics is a comprehensive and authoritative treatment of the mechanical behavior of granular materials. Covering both theoretical and practical aspects, the book provides a thorough understanding of the fundamentals of granular media, their behavior under various loading conditions, and their applications in engineering practice.
