"... an excellent reference." (Journal of Soils & Sediments)

Der aktuelle Stand der theoretischen Forschung und die modernsten Verfahren: Aus diesem Buch erfahren Sie wirklich alles über die zerstörungsfreie Analytik granulierter Stoffe. Erstmals wird hier gezeigt, wie man mit Hilfe mechanischer und elektromagnetischer Wellen komplementäre Informationen über das untersuchte Medium gewinnt. Zur Festigung des Stoffes tragen zahlreiche Kontrollfragen, Übungsaufgaben und didaktisch sinnvolle Experimente bei.
