AbstractThis project addresses the challenge of monitoring and predicting the behavior of granular materials, such as grains and pellets, that are processed in large volumes across the chemical, agricultural, and mining industries. The mechanical behavior of these materials in industrial operations is highly unpredictable due to external factors such as temperature and humidity, and internal factors such as particle degradation and fracture. Obtaining data is challenging in large industrial systems beca
