Buch, Englisch, 274 Seiten, Format (B × H): 236 mm x 159 mm, Gewicht: 576 g

Granular Geomechanics provides a comprehensive exploration of soils as granular materials and the manner in which a soil's engineering properties form grain-scale mechanics. The book focuses on granular composition and packing, grain interactions, discrete granular modeling and continuum constitutive modeling.

Zielgruppe

Graduate-level engineering students seeking a general understanding and overview of the topic, tool at seminar course on granular mechanics, research libraries. It will provide background information for the physics community, as these researchers are becoming more interested in engineering topics to granular materials
