This monograph covers phenomena of deformation and machining of granular media: macroscopic particles of different size, shape, and surface properties which typically exhibit behavior similar to fluids, as well as the behavior of solids under deformation. The book analyses the behavior of granular media in soils, rocks and stones, metals and various synthetic materials, presenting a theoretical description, applications and understanding of basic phenomena in granular matter.

Theoretical Substantiation of Experimental Methods to Study Granular Materials.- Dilatancy and Plasticity of Granular Materials under Simple Shear.- Complex Loading with the Continuous Rotation of the Strain Tensor Axes.- Localization of Strains and Processes of Self-Organization in Granular Materials.- Mathematical Models of Deformation of Granular Materials.- Boundary Value Problems.- Some Problems of Granular (Powder) Material Treatment.- Practicality of the Results in the Mechanics-Related Fields.
