Statics and Kinematics of Granular Materials

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.
