IUTAM Symposium on Mechanics of Granular and Porous Materials Summary

IUTAM Symposium on Mechanics of Granular and Porous Materials: Proceedings of the IUTAM Symposium Held in Cambridge, UK, 15-17 July 1996 by N.A. Fleck

This volume contains 39 contributions presented at the IUTAM Symposium on Mechanics of Granular and Porous Materials. The Symposium reviewed the current understanding of the constitutive behaviour of porous and granular solids, based on experimental data, numerical simulations and micromechanical models. An interdisciplinary approach is adopted, involving the fields of solid mechanics, materials science, geomechanics, chemical engineering and mathematics. This book emphasizes the development and use of constitutive laws to model practical processes such as mixing, drainage and drying, compaction of metal and ceramic powders and soils, and instabilities associated with these processes. A common theme is the development of constitutive models from an understanding of the underlying physical mechanisms of deformation and fracture. The volume should be of interest to researchers and to engineers concerned with measuring and predicting the response of granular and porous solids for structural applications.
