On the mechanical behavior of granite: Constitutive modeling and application to percussive drilling

The mechanical behavior and fragmentation response of rock materials is investigated in this work. In particular, Bohus granite is selected with application to percussive drilling. It is well known that rock behaves totally different in compression and tension and dynamic loading conditions and high...
