Title: Granular Physics
Description: "This book provides a wide-ranging account of developments in granular physics, and lays out the foundations of the statics and dynamics of granular physics. It covers a wide range of subfields, ranging from fluidisation to jamming, and these are modelled through a range of computer simulation and theoretical approaches. Written with an eye to pedagogy and completeness, this book will be a valuable asset for any researcher in this field." "In addition to Professor Mehta's detailed exposition of granular dynamics, the book contains contributions from Professor Sir Sam Edwards, jointly with Dr. Raphael Blumenfeld, on the thermodynamics of granular matter; from Professor Isaac Goldhirsch on granular matter in the fluidised stale; and Professor Philippe Claudin on granular statics."--BOOK JACKET.
