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

Figure 11

The cumulative distribution curve and average fragment size of layered rocks with different bedding stiffness. (a–e) The distribution curve of 0°, 22.5°, 45°, 67.5°, and 90° samples, red: ks/kn = 10, blue: ks/kn = 2.46, yellow: kn/ks = 1, green: kn/ks = 2.46, and gray: kn/ks = 10. (f) Average fragment size vs. bedding stiffness under different bedding angles. (g) Dynamic strength vs. bedding stiffness under different bedding angles.
