Advanced Insights into Blasting Mechanics

 

We’re deeply committed to pushing the boundaries of research and development in blasting mechanics. Our objective? To offer you deeper insights and actionable results that have practical applications.

We proudly introduce our cutting-edge software, seamlessly integrated as a plugin for Rhino3D®. By leveraging the robust capabilities of the Rhinocommon API and its intuitive GUI, we can devote more of our time to addressing the core challenges in blasting mechanics, rather than reinventing the wheel with routine processes.

Introducing: The Blast Fragmentation Plugin for Rhino3D®

 

Delving deep into the realm of blasting mechanics, we present the Blast Fragmentation Plugin – your premier toolkit to simulate and analyze blast-induced fragmentation. This set of sophisticated functions stands at the forefront, offering a novel yet dependable methodology to predict the fragmentation of blasted materials in real-world scenarios.

 

Core Features & Insights:

  1. Scientific Foundation: Built on robust theoretical principles that elucidate the formation of blast-induced fractures and offer methods to determine their lengths.
  2. Comprehensive Input Parameters: The plugin processes inputs like:
    • Rock properties: Monolithic rock, tensile strength, and Poisson ratio.
    • Drilling & explosive specifics: Hole radius, charge radius, detonation velocity, charge density, and initiation sequence.
    • Discrete Fracture Network (DFN) and borehole patterns from preceding rows.
  3. Unique Analytical Approach: Operating on the proven tenet in blasting – “An explosive charge fragments only the primary rock blocks it traverses.” With this guiding principle, our plugin meticulously evaluates fragmentation of primary blocks intersected by every charge. This capability renders it ideal for analyzing complex blasting patterns, including non-parallel boreholes like ring blasting in subterranean mines.
  4. Detailed Outputs: Beyond mere size distribution, the results pinpoint the spatial position of each fragment. This ensures any oversized fragments can be easily identified, empowering users to refine their blasting patterns.
  5. Optimized for Efficiency: Recognizing that fragment computation is resource-intensive, our plugin harnesses multithreaded computation to expedite the analytical process.
 

Compatibility & Access: The Blast Fragmentation Plugin is tailored for the latest service release of Rhino v6 and is primed for compatibility with future versions. Best of all? It’s available free of charge.
