Advances in Soil Dynamics, Volume 2
The second volume in the series covers elasto-plastic soil
mechanics, the application of finite element methods in agricultural soil
mechanics, soil compaction, and sensors and controllers for primary drivers and
soil engaging implements. Chapter 1 deals with the concept of stress, strain,
constitutive relationships, and linear and nonlinear material behavior before
discussing critical-state soil mechanics in detail. Recent developments in
unsaturated soil mechanics are summarized. Chapter 2 covers the application of
the finite element method to solve soilmachine and soil-plant interaction
problems such as large strains and/or displacements, gap elements, interface
elements, and solution techniques for nonlinear problems. Chapter 3 covers
recent advances in the measurement, prediction, and management of soil
compaction. Chapter 4 covers variability in selected soil properties, sensors
for real-time control and field mapping. It concludes with the state-of-the-art
in robotic farming systems. 300 pages, 6 x 9 inches, hardbound. Order No. M0602
