First sentence: For many years the study of the mechanical behaviour of geomaterials and its description by constitutive relations has been developed in the framework characterized by isotropic linear elasticity (Hooke's law) and by solid friction (Coulomb's law).
Description: "Modeling and Mechanics of Granular and Porous Materials is fairly unique in the literature. It may serve as both an excellent reference text or in seminars, appealing to graduate students, researchers and scientists in applied mathematics, continuum mechanics, finite element methods, solid mechanics, and hydraulics engineering. A good foundation in continuum mechanics is a prerequisite."--BOOK JACKET.
