商品描述
The efficient and reliable handling of bulk solids is central to a vast range of industries, from mining and energy to pharmaceuticals, agriculture, and food processing. Despite its industrial importance, bulk solids handling has too often been approached through trial-and-error, resulting in inefficiencies, operational disruptions, and avoidable structural failures.
The Theory and Practice of Bulk Materials Handling addresses this gap with a structured, research-based framework for understanding the complex behaviours of granular and non-granular materials under various storage and flow conditions. Drawing on decades of research and industrial experience, this volume offers both the theoretical foundations and practical tools necessary for the design, analysis, and optimisation of bulk solids handling systems. This authoritative text covers:
Fundamental principles of bulk solid flow and stress distribution Measurement and interpretation of bulk material properties Analytical design of mass-flow and funnel-flow bins, silos, and stockpiles Evaluation of dynamic loading phenomena such as silo quaking and resonance Engineering of feeders and transfer chutes for efficient and controlled flow Case studies drawn from real-world industrial applications
Richly illustrated with design charts, test data, and example systems,
The Theory and Practice of Bulk Materials Handling is an essential reference for engineers, plant designers, and researchers engaged in the study and implementation of solids handling technologies. It is also ideally suited as a core text for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate engineering courses in materials handling and bulk solids technology.

大宗固體的高效且可靠的處理對於從採礦和能源到製藥、農業和食品加工等廣泛行業至關重要。儘管其在工業中的重要性，大宗固體處理往往是通過試錯法來進行，這導致了效率低下、操作中斷和可避免的結構失效。
《大宗材料處理的理論與實踐》填補了這一空白，提供了一個結構化的、基於研究的框架，以理解顆粒和非顆粒材料在各種儲存和流動條件下的複雜行為。這本書基於數十年的研究和工業經驗，提供了設計、分析和優化大宗固體處理系統所需的理論基礎和實用工具。
這本權威的著作涵蓋了：
- 大宗固體流動和應力分佈的基本原則
- 大宗材料性質的測量和解釋
- 大流量和漏斗流倉、筒倉和堆積的分析設計
- 動態載荷現象的評估，如筒倉震動和共振
- 進料器和轉運槽的工程設計，以實現高效和可控的流動
- 來自真實工業應用的案例研究
《大宗材料處理的理論與實踐》以設計圖表、測試數據和示例系統豐富插圖，是從事固體處理技術研究和實施的工程師、工廠設計師和研究人員的重要參考資料。它也非常適合作為高級本科和研究生工程課程中材料處理和大宗固體技術的核心教材。
作者簡介
Emeritus Professor Alan Roberts of The University of Newcastle and Founding Director of TUNRA Bulk Solids. He is internationally recognised as a pioneer in bulk solids handling, working on industry projects worldwide, as well as presenting many courses and papers at conferences. He commenced his engineering career in the mid 1940's earning a BE with Honours in 1956 and a PhD at the University of NSW in 1962. His ongoing contributions have also been honoured with two doctorates, Doctor of Science from the University of Wollongong, and Doctor of the University from the University of Newcastle. He has authored six design manuals and over 600 research papers published, establishing modern design methodologies for the field. In 1975, he founded TUNRA Bulk Solids, a world-class research and consulting facility that continues to influence global industry practice. He also helped create the Key Centre for Bulk Solids and Particulate Technologies, fostering collaboration between academia and industry. Professor Roberts' contributions earned numerous honours, including the A.G.M. Michell Medal, the Peter Nicol Russell Memorial Medal, and appointment as a Member of the Order of Australia. His legacy endures through ongoing research, education, and industry engagement.
