Foreword on the special issue: from discrete particles to continuum models of granular mechanics

The mechanics of granular materials have remained a challenge to describe since the days of Coulomb, both theoretically and computationally. Granular media arise in a number of everyday circumstances (e.g., raw materials, soils, food/agriculture, pharmaceuticals, vehicle mobility, debris removal) an...
