Energy- and Cost-Oriented Management of Rock Fragmentation Quality in Borehole Blasting Using a Shock Adiabat-Based Crushing Zone Model
Efficient blasting design is increasingly regarded not only as a geomechanical problem but also as a managerial challenge related to energy use, fragmentation quality, downstream comminution costs, and environmental performance. This study develops a shock-adiabat-based analytical model for predicting the radius of the...
