Inside the Structure of Granular Materials: Chains, Cycles and Scale Effects

Inside the Structure of Granular Materials aims at giving an updated overview of the latest results related to the microstructual understanding of the mechanical behavior of granular materials. In particular, this book considers different scales of analysis, from the macroscopic scale (at which constitutive relations can be inferred) to the microscopic scale (namely, the particle or the contact scale). Investigating the intermediate scale, consisting in grain clusters (cycles or force chains) is the main originality of this book.
