Statics and Kinematics of Granular Materials

Book Description

This book outlines the basic science underlying the prediction of stress and velocity distributions in granular materials. The nature of a rigid-plastic material is discussed and a comparison is made between the Coulomb and conical (extended Von Mises) models. The methods of measuring material properties are described and an interpretation of the experimental results is considered in the context of the Critical State Theory. Exercises and solutions are provided that will be particularly useful for the reader.

Review on Prof. Nedderman`s Book.......2002-01-31

The book on Statics and Kinematics of Granular materials by Prof. Nedderman is like a Bible for Powder technology researcher. It gives a complete picture of how the granular material or powder will behaves when it moves due to some external force and when it is in rest. It gives a much basic understanding on the stress - strain relationship and theory developed to understand powder mechanics.
The figures and illustrated used to explain the granular theory especially the Jenike`s method is excellent.
Overall, it is a very good book for understanding the powder mechanics and utilizing the basic concept for understanding major equipments like Storage silo, conveyors and agglomeration system.
It should be prescribed for Chemical Engineering Undergraduate course and for Postgraduate tuaght course. It also stand as a reference book for the Industrialist and Chemical Engineers. Very important book for researchers in Powder Technology.

Book Description

Theoretical and experimental approaches to flow, hydrodynamic dispersion, and miscible displacements in porous media and fractured rock are considered. Two different approaches are discussed and contrasted with each other. The first approach is based on the classical equations of flow and transport, called 'continuum models'. The second approach is based on modern methods of statistical physics of disordered media; that is, on 'discrete models', which have become increasingly popular over the past 15 years. The book is unique in its scope, since (1) there is currently no book that compares the two approaches, and covers all important aspects of porous media problems; and (2) includes discussion of fractured rocks, which so far has been treated as a separate subject.

Portions of the book would be suitable for an advanced undergraduate course. The book would be ideal for graduate courses on the subject, and can be used by chemical, petroleum, civil, environmental engineers, and geologists, as well as physicists, applied physicist and allied scientists that deal with various porous media problems.

Inner Harbor, the highly anticipated close to the story of "the lives and loves of three brothers on the windswept shores of the Chesapeake Bay" that began in Sea Swept and Rising Tides, finds Philip, the last unwed Quinn brother, juggling his high-powered advertising job and his newfound family duty of helping to care for his young adopted brother, Seth. When Dr. Sybill Griffin shows up in the sleepy town of St. Christopher, Philip makes room in his hectic schedule for the mysterious woman who stirs his senses and threatens to steal his heart. And while Sybill can't deny her own growing feelings for the charismatic Quinn, the secret connection to Seth that she hides may destroy any chance that the two young lovers have at happiness. Full of heartwarming familial moments, tender romance, and a touch of tension, Inner Harbor is an outstanding conclusion to a truly stunning trilogy.

A very pleasant read (or listen).......2006-08-11

This book, which is a part of a trilogy, doesn't let you down if you are a reader of Nora Roberts. It will make you feel good and keeps you interested with the dipiction of the main characters, three "brothers," who have been adopted after experiencing extremely difficult childhoods and develope into very exciting, exceptional adults. The trilogy is about the power of love and how it can overcome extremely difficult barriers.

Irresistible.......2006-06-06

I did not read the other books in the series, but i absolutly loved this one. I couldn't put it down for the whole 2 days it took me to finish it. It's a great story with a great theme, and you actually feel like you're there. If you like any other Nora Roberts books then you have to read this one!

Another great story.......2006-03-15

Another great Quinn story. And with an interesting twist to it too.

A wonderful ending to a wonderful series.......2006-02-10

Great story to complete the series. I like the way the new characters mix with my old favorites. The only problem is that is leaves you dieing to find out what happens to Seth. Read Chesapeake Blue to find out what happens to Seth

must read if you've read the others.......2005-09-24

This series was a nice change of pace from heavier reading. Its enjoyable. The characters are entertaining. I liked the closure by including the 4th "son's" story. Occasionally the "family rallying around" borders on hokey, but then again, this is escapism so why not be inspirational and idealistic?

This is a great series.......2007-03-25

This is a wonderful series about two people who shared their lives with four children who otherwise would have ended up as statistics. Each book tells the story of a son they adopted, and the fourth book in the series tells of the last adopted son, but shows how these two people changed so many lives just by giving love. It gives you hope without hype. Buying the series makes it even better because you can immediately go from one the next and it all stays tied together neatly with no stops. Also, it's cheaper in the set than separately!

I read the last one at the library unabridged. Then I had to read the whole searies. I enjoyed them all.

Great listen.......2007-01-03

I had not read the books, so the abridged cd's were just fine for me. I have difficulty reading the printed page anymore so I always enjoy books on cd. These were intriguing and kept me wanting more.

Great Story.......2007-06-04

I enjoyed the storylines of the Quinn Brothers. I have read hundreds of novels and never ran onto this scenario before. Three brothers from horrible circumstances taken in by this loving nurturing couple and given a chance in life, then add the younger damaged Seth and watch how the older brothers joined together to make a home and fight for him. I thought each brother found the right romance for them (strong women to handle strong men) and this series has been my favorite so far. There is a lot of humor and I enjoy it when there are special pets or children who lighten things up and Ms Roberts does that in a lot of her books. If I had a criticism of anything, it was the overuse of the f*** word which to me was used at times where totally out of place. Of course, I think it's a word that could be done away with entirely. I have a difficult time hearing educated people resort to this word. Like they can't think of some other way to express themselves. I just felt it was overdone in this series. I read the McQuade Series and another great series of brothers and Ms Roberts doesn't use this language nearly as much in it so was wondering why she chose to use so much foul language in this series. Because of the language I gave it a 4 but for content would give it a 5. I just thought it was a unique storyline. Being adopted myself and taken from a bad enviornment (though not on the Quinn Brothers scale)I could relate to be given that second chance of a better life. I think anyone would enjoy the series of these strong, yet damaged men who find their place in life.

God Bless Roberts and Her Quinns.......2007-04-14

I fell in love with the men in these books. They are amazing characters and the women they get involved with are great. The villian is so great in her ability to be hated...just love to hate her. The stories are so great and the love stories, the actual issues and trials are just so well done. The visitation by a dearly departed is well used and not cliche at all.
I love the readers for the audio cds. Great voice. I have put all 4 of the quinn's books into my ipod and listen to them in the car and at the gym.

God bless Roberts and her Quinns. If only such men were in existence...and were my neighbors...-sigh-

Roberts best.......2006-12-20

I absolutely fell in love with the Quinn brothers. My daughter has as well. Would love to these characters brought to life in a mini-series on Lifetime. I also would love for Ms. Roberts to do Ray and Stella's story.

Nora Roberts is a story-telling wizard!!.......2006-09-05

This series is a definite must read. The Chesapeake Bay Series Is what got me hooked on Nora Roberts Books. The story lines are great. The characters are awesome. You just have to keep reading until you find out what happens. Each story is completely different yet, each one is linked to the others in a way that only Nora Roberts can portray.You don't know what you are missing if you don't read it.

WONDERFUL. THIS GROUP OF BOOKS TAKE YOU THROUGH THE LIFES OF ADOPTED CHILDREN INTO A FAMILY. WITH ALL THERE PROBLEMS IT SHOWS WHAT LOVE CAN DO.
