A knowledge of the mechanical behaviour of both naturally occurring materials, such as soils and rocks, and artificial materials such as concrete and industrial granular matter, is of fundamental importance to their proper use in engineering and scientific applications. This volume contains selected lectures by international experts on current developments and problems in the numerical modelling of cohesive-frictional materials which provide a deeper understanding of the microscopic and macroscopic description of such materials. This book fills a gap by emphasizing the cross-fertilization of ideas between engineers and scientists engaged in this exciting field of research.
A knowledge of the mechanical behaviour of both naturally occurring
materials, such as soils and rocks, and artificial materials such
as concrete and industrial granular matter, is of fundamental
importance to their proper use in engineering and scientific

international experts on current developments and problems in the
numerical modelling of cohesive-frictional materials which provide
a deeper understanding of the microscopic and macroscopic
description of such materials. This book fills a gap by emphasizing
the cross-fertilization of ideas between engineers and scientists
engaged in this exciting field of research.
This progressive volume of lectures, written by leading experts on
current developments in the field, is a must-read for engineers in
physics, mechanics and engineering applications alike. Focusing on
both continuous and discontinuous modelling, this topical symposium
raises the issue of cohesive-frictional materials and the
importance of understanding their mechanical behaviour in
determining their correct use in engineering and scientific
applications. A subject that has attracted a great deal of
attention from scientists and engineers, from a variety of fields,
this book is not only essential reading for professionals within
the discipline, but also an insightful text for graduates wanting
to learn more about the topic.
