On the tensile strength of soil grains in Hertzian response

The breakage initiation of soil grains is controlled by its tensile capacity. Despite the importance of tensile strength, it is often disregarded due to difficulties in measurement. This paper presents an experimental and numerical investigation on the effect of tensile strength on Hertzian response...
