This book is the result of the teaching experience of the three authors on several courses in advanced soil mechanics, finite element analysis, soil modeling and experimental methods in soil mechanics. The authors have a rich and varied experience in these topics, and believe that there is the need for one single book which combines both theoretical and practical aspects of the constitutive modeling of soils in the light of critical state framework. Both theoretical and practical aspects are covered in an easy to understand style starting from the fundamentals and through to numerical analysis. Most importantly, the book covers both conventional plasticity theories and the critical state models, including their comparison. The implication of using different constitutive models in finite element programs is also discussed. Contents includes chapters on: Properties of soils / Basic continuum equations / Critical state frame work / Normality rule and fundamentals of plasticity theories / Theory of Critical State Models / Finite Element aspects of the plasticity theories / Finite element analysis with critical state models

This book is written specifically to address the course curriculum in engineering physics for first-year students of all branches of engineering. Though most of the topics covered are customarily taught in universities and institutes, the book follows the sequence of topics as prescribed in the course syllabus of engineering colleges in Tamil Nadu. This new edition presents the fundamental concepts of physics in a pedagogically sound manner. It includes a new chapter on thermal physics, which is essential for core engineering students. Furthermore, topics such as crystal growth techniques, estimation of packing density of diamonds, and the relation between three moduli of elasticity are included. Key features: Includes numerical problems (solved and unsolved) to strengthen problem-solving ability. Short and long questions at the end of each chapter. Model test papers with solutions. Chapter end summaries.
