Klappentext

Der aktuelle Stand der theoretischen Forschung und die modernsten Verfahren: Aus diesem Buch erfahren Sie wirklich alles über die zerstörungsfreie Analytik granulierter Stoffe. Erstmals wird hier gezeigt, wie man mit Hilfe mechanischer und elektromagnetischer Wellen komplementäre Informationen über das untersuchte Medium gewinnt. Zur Festigung des Stoffes tragen zahlreiche Kontrollfragen, Übungsaufgaben und didaktisch sinnvolle Experimente bei.

Zusammenfassung
J. Carlos Santamarina, Georgia Institute of Technology, USA in collaboration with Katherine A. Klein, University of Toronto, Canada; Moheb A. Fam, Cairo University, Egypt Soils are unique materials. Analogous to all other particulate materials, their properties depend on environmental parameters, such as confinement and fluid characteristics.
