Granular Materials

Granular materials play an important role in many industries. Continuous ingenuity and advancement in these industries necessitates the ability to predict the fundamental behaviour of granular materials under different working environments. With contributions from international experts in the field, this volume details advances made in theoretical, computational and experimental approaches in understanding the behaviour of granular materials, including industrial applications. Topics covered include: key features of granular plasticity; high temperature particle interactions; the influence of polymers on particulate dispersion stability; scanning probe microscopy investigations; and the in-process measurement of particulate systems.
