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

Figure 9

The cumulative distribution curve and average fragment size of layered rocks with different bedding shear strength. (a–e) The distribution curve of 0°, 22.5°, 45°, 67.5°, and 90° samples, red: coh = 4 MPa, blue: coh = 24 MPa, yellow: coh = 36 MPa, green: coh = 72 MPa, and gray: coh = 140 MPa. (f) Average fragment size vs. bedding shear strength under different bedding angles. (g) Dynamic strength vs. bedding shear strength under different bedding angles.
