Dynamic Response of Granular and Porous Materials under Large and Catastrophic Deformations

This book summarizes the results of a research programme financed by the "Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft" in the field of deformation and failure in granular and porous media. It presents the recent engineering as well as mathematical key aspects of this field for a broad community. Its...
