Description for Sands, Powders, and Grains
Paperback. Translator(s): Reisinger, A. Series: Partially Ordered Systems. Num Pages: 214 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PHFC; TBC; TGM. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 12. Weight in Grams: 361.
This introductory text develops the fundamental physics of the behavior of granular materials. It covers the basic properties of flow, friction, and fluidization of uniform granular materials; discusses mixing and segregation of heterogeneous materials (the famous "brazil-nut problem"); and concludes with an introduction to numerical models. The presentation begins with simple experiments and uses their results to build concepts and theorems about materials whose behavior is often quite counter-intuitive; presenting in a unified way the background needed to understand current work in the field. Developed for students at the University of Paris, the text will be suitable for advanced undergraduates ... Read more

Reviews for Sands, Powders, and Grains
FROM THE REVIEWS: PURE AND APPLIED GEOPHYSICS "In total, the book is lucidly written and offers a complementary approach to that usually found in the books treating soil and granular media mechanics. It presents a physicist’s viewpoint of granular media. It can also be used by both the researchers and in courses of soil mechanics.” PHYSICS ... Read more
