The field of granular physics has burgeoned since its development
in the late 1980s, when physicists first began to use statistical
mechanics to study granular media. They are prototypical of complex
systems, manifesting metastability, hysteresis and bistability, and
a range of other fascinating phenomena. This 2007 book is a
wide-ranging account of developments in granular physics, and lays
out the foundations of the statics and dynamics of granular
physics. It covers a wide range of subfields, ranging from
fluidisation to jamming, and these are modelled through a range of
computer simulation and theoretical approaches. Written with an eye
to pedagogy and completeness, this book will be valuable asset to
any researcher in this field. The book also contains contributions
from Professor Sir Sam Edwards, with Dr Raphael Blumenfeld,
Professor Isaac Goldhirsch and Professor Philippe Claudin.
