Outline of lecture
Theory of elasticity and plasticity is used to describe mechanical behaviors of granular materials in many engineering and industrial applications. Sand, agricultural grains and chemical particles are granule in nature. Therefore, inelastic responses of granular media are important in construction, storage and process. This course provides the advanced subject in Geomechanics and Powder mechanics to understand load transfer mechanisms and predict stress distributions. Analytical and numerical methods based on continuum mechanics are given with applications to retaining wall, slope, heap, silo and hopper.
Purpose of lecture
This course provides the advanced subject in Geomechanics and Powder mechanics to predict stress distribution and collapsed load. Analytical and numerical methods based on continuum mechanics are given with applications to retaining wall, slope, foundation, silo and hopper.
