We combinein-situX-ray computed tomography (XRCT) with 3D X-ray diffraction (3DXRD)to measure both particle kinematics and particle stresses during deformation of granular samples. Using thisapproach, we can calculate inter-particle forces, contact kinematics, and energy dissipation throughout thedeformation process, providing new insight into the statistics and spatial heterogeneity of these processes
