[share_ebook] Granular Materials: Fundamentals and Applications

Description

Granular materials are an important part of several engineering applications of technological importance. The industries that handle granular materials include food preparation, pharmaceutical, consumer products, agricultural products, metal powders, mechanical, geotechnical, chemical, nuclear and green industries. In addition, high rates of innovation in these industries means that there is a continuous need for achieving excellence in predicting the fundamental behaviour of granular materials under different working environments. Analysis of physical systems involving granular materials requires clear understanding of their behaviour not only at the single particle level, but should also consider the solutions of multi-physics problem involving multi-scale phenomena from molecular to macroscopic scale.
