Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Proceedings of a Symposium sponsored by the Engineering Mechanics Division of ASCE (Committee on Properties of Materials and Committee on Fluid Mechanics) and the Applied Mechanics Division of American Society of Mechanical Engineers) (Committee on Geomechanics) Evanston, IL, June 29-July 2, 1997. Presenting a collection of recent advances in the areas of granular solids and granular fluids, these proceedings examine a variety of theoretical approaches including micromechanical methods, with the consideration of particle interactions, and conventional continuum mechanics methods. Complementary, computational, and experimental techniques that have been developed that study phenomena ranging from particle-level to bulk behavior are also covered.
