Granular materials are used widely and can be seen in natural and industrial applications such as sand bags or pharmaceutical pills. During their manufacturing, processing, transport and use, granular materials are subjected to various kinds of loadings. If the amplitude of the loading is above the strength threshold, particles constituting granular materials may fracture. It is very important to understand the failure of particles under these loading conditions to prevent or control their failure during all stages of their manufacturing and use. Better characterization of the fracture behavior of particles composed of different materials and sizes will allow more precise …
