The biggest survey ever of the micromechanics of granular materials. More than 1400 pages (in two volumes) containing 283 articles.
This volume contains the proceedings of the Fifth International Conference on the Micromechanics of Granular Media, "Powders and Grains 2005". "Powders and Grains" is an international scientific conference held every four years that brings together engineers and physicists interested in the micromechanics of granular media.
The book is a guide to the hottest topics in the general problem of the microscopic description and understanding of granulates. "Powders and Grains 2005" offer an excellent overview of the state of the art research on granular media. Authors from all over the world and different backgrounds discuss their most up-to-date research interests and results. Included are experimental, numerical, and theoretical investigations by both engineers and physicists. The result is a valuable tool for engineers, physicists as well as for applied mathematicians, geologists, and other scientists concerned with problems ranging from the most basic and theoretical, to the daily problems of industry, process performance or construction design.
The breadth and depth of the conference is clearly indicated by the topics discussed:
• Granular Solids: Packing Geometry; Force Transmission and Force Equlibrium; Micromechanics and Macroscopic Behavior; Quasi-static Shear; Biaxial and Triaxial Tests; Sound Transmission and Conduction; Compaction; Jamming
• Continuum Modeling: Theory and Numercis
• Cohesion: Cohesive Properties; Cohesive Flow; Humidity and Cohesion; Sintering, Aggregation and Granulation
• Degradation & Instability of Geomaterials: Degradation and Geomaterials; Instabilities of Geomaterials
• Granular Liquids: Shear Flows; Hoppers and Silos; Channel and Chute Flow; Flow around Obstacles; Surface Flow and Avalanches
• Fluid and Particles: Dunes, Ripples, and Sediment Transport; Fluidized Beds, Conveying, Bubbles; Suspensions; Saturated Granular Matter
