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

Figure 13

The cumulative distribution curve and average fragment size of layered rocks with different bedding space. (a–e) The distribution curve of 0°, 22.5°, 45°, 67.5°, and 90° samples, red: space = 5 mm, blue: space = 6.5 mm, yellow: space = 10 mm, green: space = 12.5 mm, and gray: space = 25 mm. (f) Average fragment size vs. bedding space under different bedding angles. (g) Dynamic strength vs. bedding space under different bedding angles.
