Soviet mining science Aims and scope

Conclusion

  1. 1.

    The model of fracture by a percussive tool, developed by the authors, qualitatively, represents the overall fracture pattern, particularly the existence of a core; it permits calculation of the grain-size composition and the characteristic dimensions of the fracture hole.

  2. 2.

    An example of the operation of a percussive tool, particularly the optimal operating conditions, is examined.
