Granular Geomaterials Dissipative Mechanics: Theory and Applications in Civil Engineering

by Etienne Frossard

This book develops a new vision in geomechanics which will be of interest to researchers and engineers. It begins with the key theoretical features of dissipative structures induced by elementary contact friction within geomaterials in slow motion, their multi-scale expression in key tensor relations and associated features including strain localization and shear banding.
