Abstract
Observing the fragmentation of individual particles within granular assemblies is a subject of evident theoretical and practical importance. A new technique using dyed gypsum particles (DGPs) to match the broken particles to their parents was adopted in this study. An image-based method of acquiring the shape information of particles from two orthogonal views was proposed. The mass survival probability and shape characteristics of the children particles were analyzed after a series of one-dimensional compression tests on the DGPs. It was found that medium-sized particles in the polydisperse samples underwent more breakage than the other particles, and this might have been attributed to the combined effects of the particle crushing strength and the coordination number. The shape evolution of broken particles and surviving particles showed opposite trends. Because the particles after the test within a given size range consisted of both the broken and surviving particles, their overall shape characteristics did not show a consistent trend. Furthermore, individual particle crushing tests on the children particles suggested that the breakage-induced shape irregularity did not change the Weibull modulus, but had a substantial effect on the magnitude of the survival probability.
