Constitutive Modelling of Granular Materials

In view of its extreme complexity the mathematical description of the mechanical behaviour of granular materials is an extremely difficult task. Today many different models compete with each other. However, the complexity of the models hinders their comparison, and the potential users are confused and, often, disencouraged. This book is expected to serve as a milestone in the present situation, to evaluate the present methodes, to clear up the situation, to focus and encourage for further research activities.Kolymbas, Dimitrios is the author of 'Constitutive Modelling of Granular Materials' with ISBN 9783540669197 and ISBN 3540669191.
