Statics and Kinematics of Granular Materials
This book outlines the basic science underlying the prediction of stress and velocity distributions in granular materials. It takes the form of a textbook suitable for post-graduate courses, research workers and for use in design offices. The nature of a rigid-plastic material is discussed and a comparison is made between the Coulomb and conical (extended von Mises) models. The methods of measuring material properties are described and an interpretation of the experimental results is...
