Figure 8

The cumulative distribution curve and average fragment size of layered rocks under different strain rates. (a–e) The distribution curve of 0°, 22.5°, 45°, 67.5°, and 90° samples, red: 80 s−1, blue: 140 s−1, yellow: 170 s−1, green: 200 s−1, and gray: 215 s−1. (f) Average fragment size vs. strain rate under different bedding angles. (g) Dynamic strength vs. strain rate under different bedding angles.
