Particle Technology and Engineering: An Engineer’s Guide to Particles and Powders: Fundamentals and Computational Approaches

摘要

The authors of this book, Professor Jonathan Seville and Professor Chuan-Yu Wu, are globally recognised experts in the field of particle technology. Professor Seville has a degree in Chemical Engineering from the Universities of Surrey and Cambridge, UK, with a strong background in the design and manufacturing of products for the pharmaceutical, home care and fast-moving consumer goods industries. Professor Wu has a degree in Chemical Engineering and a PhD from Aston University, UK, in finite element method (FEM) of particle impact problems from which he later moved to discrete element methods (DEM). The book is intended to provide an initial overview of the field of particle technology by summarising the essential scientific fundamentals of particles and introducing the basic knowledge required for two computational approaches (DEM and FEM). It gives a wide ranging introduction to the fundamentals of particle mechanics and computational aspects for particulate systems. For more in-depth discussion, the authors refer the readers to other, more extensive, works.
