  • More about A Primer on Theoretical Soil Mechanics

A Primer to Theoretical Soil Mechanics is a book that explains continuum mechanics and introduces the new theory of barodesy as a simple alternative to the plasticity theory. It is intended for advanced undergraduates, graduates, and PhD students, and researchers seeking advanced training on fundamental topics.

Format: Hardback
Length: 250 pages
Publication date: 04 August 2022
Publisher: Cambridge University Press


A Primer to Theoretical Soil Mechanics delves into the realm of adapting continuum mechanics to granular materials, presenting a comprehensive exploration of the field. While continuum mechanics boasts a wealth of valuable concepts and methodologies, it has witnessed a gradual decline in interest owing to its intricate and fragmented nature. Consequently, the primary objective of this book is to facilitate a deeper comprehension of the theoretical foundations of soil mechanics, while also introducing the novel theory of barodesy. This title advocates for barodesy as a straightforward alternative to the prevailing plasticity theory, offering a systematic insight into this innovative constitutive model for granular materials. By employing straightforward concepts, concise equations, and illustrative sketches, this book endeavors to present a complex subject matter in a fresh and imaginative manner, making it suitable for advanced undergraduates, graduates, and Ph.D. students alike. Furthermore, researchers seeking advanced training in fundamental topics will also find this title highly valuable.
