Description
This book examines the experimental and theoretical aspects of bifurcation analysis as applied to geomechanics. Coverage includes basic continuum mechanics for dry and fluid unfiltrated porous media, bifurcation and stability analyses applied to layered geological media and granular materials, and theories for generalized continua as applied to materials with microstructure and in relation to strain localization phenomena.
Table of Contents

Plasticity theory for granular materials. Bifurcation analysis of element tests. Shear band bifurcation in granular media. Cosserat continuum model for granular materials.
