Provides the state-of-the-art of the physics of granular media for graduate students and researchers in physics, applied mathematics and engineering.

"Granular Gases" are diluted many-particle systems in which the mean free path of the particles is much larger than the typical particle size, and where particl

2007 account of developments in granular physics for researchers in statistical and mathematical physics.

Granular materials are an integral part of our everyday life. They are also the base material for most industrial processing techniques. The highly dissipative

This monograph covers phenomena of deformation and machining of granular media: macroscopic particles of different size, shape, and surface properties which typ
