Effect of Material Properties and Strain Rate on Fragmentation of Anisotropic Rock

Figure 10

The cumulative distribution curve and average fragment size of layered rocks with different bedding tensile strength. (a–e) The distribution curve of 0°, 22.5°, 45°, 67.5°, and 90° samples, red: ten = 0.01 MPa, blue: ten = 3 MPa, yellow: ten = 18 MPa, green: ten = 42 MPa, and gray: ten = 52 MPa. (f) Average fragment size vs. bedding tension strength under different bedding angles. (g) Dynamic strength vs. bedding tension strength under different bedding angles.
