Granular materials are ubiquitous in the world around us. They have properties that are
different from those commonly associated with either solids, liquids, or gases. In this review …

Granular materials, like sand, powder or grains present intriguing phenomena. Vibration and
shearing can lead to convective motion and segregation. A variation of stress may cause …

INTRODUCTION TO PARTICLE TECHNOLOGY A new edition of the indispensable guide to
particulates and powders Particle technology concerns the formation, processing and …

This introductory text develops the fundamental physics of the behavior of granular
materials. It covers the basic properties of flow, friction, and fluidization of uniform granular …

颗粒物质是地球上存在最多, 最为人们所熟悉的物质类型之一. 大量颗粒组成的离散态物质体系
具有特别的性质和运动规律. 颗粒物质表现出许多不同于固, 液, 气物质的奇特现象和独特的运动 …

V ictor Hugo suggested the possibility that patterns created by the movement of grains of
sand are in no small part responsible for the shape and feel of the natural world we live in …

We review recent developments in size separation in vibrated granular materials. Motivated
by a need in industry to handle granular materials efficiently and a desire to make …

In the Brazil nut problem (BNP), hard spheres with larger diameters rise to the top. There are
various explanations (percolation, reorganization, convection), but a broad understanding or …

Granular media differ from other materials in their response to stirring or jostling—unlike two-
fluid systems, bi-disperse granular mixtures will separate according to particle size when …

We report on experiments on vertically shaken binary granular mixtures, which separate into
their components due to the external excitation. This well-known phenomenon, where large …
