Powders have been studied extensively because they arise in a wide
variety of fields, ranging from soil mechanics to manufacture of
pharmaceuticals. Only recently, however, with the deepening
understanding of fractals, chaos, 1/f noise, and self-organization,
has it been useful to study the mechanical properties of powders
from a fundamental physical perspective. This book collects
articles by some of the foremost researchers in the field,
including chapters on: the role of entropy in the specification of
a powder, by S.F. Edwards (Cambridge); discrete mechanics, by P.K.
Haff (Duke); computer simulations of granular materials, by G.C.
Barker (Norwich); pattern formation and complexity in granular
flow, by R.P. Behringer and G.W. Baxter (Duke); avalanches in real
sand piles, by A. Mehta (Birmingham); micromechanical models of
failure, by M.J. Adams (Unilever) and B.J. Briscoe (Imperial
College); mixing and segregation in particle flows, by J.
Bridgwater (Birmingham); and hard-sphere colloidal suspensions, by
P. Bartlett (Bristol) and W. van Megen (Melbourne).
