The purpose of this review is to discuss the development and the state of the art in dynamic
testing techniques and dynamic mechanical behaviour of rock materials. The review begins …

Dynamic properties of rocks are important in a variety of rock mechanics and rock
engineering problems. Due to the transient nature of the loading, dynamic tests of rock …

It is of significance to comprehend the effects of rock microstructure on the tensile strength
under different loading rates caused by mining disturbance. So, in this paper, three kinds of …

abstract The main purpose of blasting operation is to produce desired and optimum mean
size rock fragments. Smaller or fine fragments cause the loss of ore during loading and …
