The Signature of Anisotropy in Granular Media: A Multiscale Insight offers a thorough, comprehensive discussion on the signature of anisotropy with relation to various shear behavior in granular media based on rigorous comparison and correlation of three approaches, namely, the continuum constitutive method, the micromechanics based approach and the computational multiscale modeling approach. The book summarizes the state-of-the-art research on continuum constitutive modeling of anisotropy behavior in granular media, micromechanical characterization of granular anisotropy, and effective cross-scale bridging strategies between the macro and micro scale of granular media.The authors detail topics on anisotropic critical state theory, characterization of fabric and fabric evolution, stress-force-fabric relationship, and the hierarchical computational multiscale modeling approach. This book serves as a valuable source of reference on granular mechanics for graduate students, academic researchers, and geotechnical engineers.

This book contains contributions to the 10th International Workshop on Bifurcation and Degradation in Geomaterials held in Hong Kong, May 28-30, 2014. This event marks the silver Jubilee anniversary of an international conference series dedicated to the research on localization, instability, degradation and failure of geomaterials since 1988 when its first workshop was organized in Germany. This volume of book collects the latest progresses and state-of-the-art research from top researchers around the world, and covers topics including multiscale modeling, experimental characterization and theoretical analysis of various instability and degradation phenomena in geomaterials as well as their relevance to contemporary issues in engineering practice.  This book can be used as a useful reference for research students, academics and practicing engineers who are interested in the instability and degradation problems in geomechanics and geotechnical engineering.
