Impact-Induced Fragmentation of Rock and Size Distribution Analysis (Room Concorde A)

9:30 AM - 10:00 AM

Tracks: FRAGBLAST: Modeling and Image Analysis

Speaker(s): Bibhu Mohanty
Size reduction process due to calibrated impacts on a range of rock types has been studied. This is analogous to study of shock-induced fracture and fragmentation in blasting. The various fitting equations currently in use to describe size distribution have been examined and their relative merits described.
