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

Figure 12

The cumulative distribution curve and average fragment size of layered rocks with different bedding thickness. (a–e) The distribution curve of 0°, 22.5°, 45°, 67.5°, and 90° samples, red: thickness = 0.8 mm, blue: thickness = 1.4 mm, yellow: thickness = 2.0 mm, green: thickness = 3.6 mm, and gray: thickness = 5.0 mm. (f) Average fragment size vs. thickness under different bedding angles. (g) Dynamic strength vs. thickness under different bedding angles.
