DESCRIPTION:
Between a Rock and a Hard Place! James L. Throne The study of the behavior of granular materials is thousands of years old. And the behavior of granular materials affects each of us every day. From foodstuffs to pharmaceuticals to the substrates our houses rest on and our vehicles travel over. Yet it is only in the past decade or so that computers have become large
From the Back Cover Granular materials are an integral part of our everyday life. . This interplay of dissipation and excitation leads to a wide variety of pattern formation processes, which are addressed in this book. They are also the base material for most industrial processing techniques. The reader is introduced to this wide field by, first, a description of the material properties of granular materials under different experimental conditions that are important in connection with the pattern formation dynamics and, second, by further details given later on in the descriptio
This interplay of dissipation and excitation leads to a wide variety of pattern formation processes, which are addressed in this book. The highly dissipative nature of the particle collisions means energy input is needed in order to mobilize the grains. They are also the base material for most industrial processing techniques. The reader is introduced to this wide field by, first, a description of the material properties of granular materials under different experimental conditions that are important in connection with the pattern formation dynamics and, second, by further details given later on in the description of the specific system..
