"Granular materials are composed of macroscopic particles, not molecules, and yet they can assemble in disordered configurations, such is present in glass, and they exhibit both fluid-like and solid-like behaviors. This book gives a broad introduction to granular materials, a fa…

Explaining the science contained in a simple assembly of grains--the most abundant form of matter present on Earth. Granular matter--materials composed of vast amounts of solid grains--constitutes the most abundant form of matter on Earth. Granular materials assemble in disorder…
This contributed volume provides an up-to-date overview of the mechanics of granular materials, ranging from sparse media to soils. With chapters exploring state-of-the-art theoretical, experimental, and applied trends in the study of granular matter in various states, readers w…
« Les ouvrages de génie civil présentent différents types de granulats utilisés sous une forme ou une autre : ces granulats sont naturels lorsqu’ils proviennent de sablière, de gravière ou de ballastière ; ils sont artificiels lorsqu’ils sont le produit de roches concassées ; il…
