In comminution, particle breakage starts with crack initiation and propagation. For investigating crack formation behavior, the description by displacement fields can be applied. Ore texture and operational conditions such as loading mechanisms will affect the crack formation. This study aims at investigating the effects of ore texture and loading displacement rate on particle deformation. The objective is to describe the spatial displacement fields in the ore textures. In order to obtain these, in-situ compression loading with different displacement rates were conducted, followed by X-ray computed micro-tomography and Digital Volume Correlation (DVC). The outcomes showed that DVC has the potential to predict crack formation for describing mineral liberation.
