Slow Motion in Granular Matter

  • Chapter

Part of the Lecture Notes in Mathematics book series (LNM,volume 1937)

Agglomerations of granules are described as continuous complex bodies in which the generic material element is an open system made of a family of granules. Inertia is neglected while migration of granules is allowed: an evolution equation for the local numerosity of granules is derived in the present setting. In a reduced framework in which the generic material element coincides with a single granule, the balance of interactions governing the motion of a single granule during segregation is also discussed.
