Abstract

Here we present a brief introduction to some theoretical ideas for granular matter. We start by reviewing the physical properties and constraints of granular materials. We then outline some approaches towards a thermodynamics for granular materials. We analyze the grain flow as a fluid mechanical phenomenon, with a brief introduction to the kinetic theory of inelastically colliding hard particles. We present a nonlinear theory of elasticity for granular solids. Finally, we briefly discuss the problem of formulating continuous field equations in discrete particulate systems and non–local constitutive relations.
