Abstract
Recent theories for rapid deformations of granular materials have attempted to exploit the similarities between the grains of deforming granular mass and the molecules of a disequilibrated gas. Methods from the kinetic theory may then be used to determine, for example, the form of the balance laws for the means of density, velocity, and energy and to calculate specific forms for the mean fluxes of momentum and energy and, in these dissipative systems, the mean rate at which energy is lost in collisions.
