Description for Modeling and Mechanics of Granular and Porous Materials
Hardback. The modeling of granular and porous materials affects a variety of problems that arise from the need to describe the behavior of materials that exist naturally in our surroundings. This work covers various major topics in modeling soil behavior, including transport phenomena. Series: Modeling and Simulation in Science, Engineering and Technology. Num Pages: 382 pages, biography. BIC Classification: TGB; TGMD. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 242 x 166 x 30. Weight in Grams: 732.
Soils are complex materials: they have a particulate structure and fluids can seep through pores, mechanically interacting with the solid skeleton. Moreover, at a microscopic level, the behaviour of the solid skeleton is highly unstable. External loadings are in fact taken by grain chains which are continuously destroyed and rebuilt. Many issues of modeling, even of the physical details of the phenomena, remain open, even obscure; de Gennes listed them not long ago in a critical review. However, despite physical complexities, soil mechanics has developed on the assumption that a soil can be seen as a continuum, or better yet ... Read more
