Blasting Design ROCK Breaking MECHANISM 1. The process of solving Tk I (Dynamic Loading) When the rhino explodes, high P destroys the rock around the blast hole. The shock wave propagates at a rate of 3000-5000 m / s resulting in tangential stresses that cause fractures that radiate from the Read more…
