The impact fragmentation of a bulk polyurethane elastomer (PU) and polypropylene (PP) cylinder have been investigated …

simulations of fragmentation dynamics where similar scalings appear. The language size distribution is also studied and shown to …

An experimental study of fragmentation of brittle solids under the application of repeated impulsive force is made …

introducing newer agents in the system (c) both fragmentation and entry of new agents is taking place. While models (a) and (c) do …

We present a modeling framework for 1D fragmentation in brittle rods, in which the distribution of fragments is written ….R. Gladden, N.Z. Handzy, A. Belmonte, E. Villermaux, Dynamic buckling and fragmentation in brittle rods, Phys. Rev. Lett. 94 …

New large time asymptotic (self-similar) solutions of the fragmentation (breakage) equation are derived in closed form … for the case of certain homogeneous discrete fragmentation kernel. A fragmentation kernel is called homogeneous and … fragmentation kernel is not a continuous function. The present solutions are the first explicit self-similarity distributions for …

Two models of binary fragmentation are introduced in which a time-dependent transition size produces two regions of … fragment sizes above and below the transition size. In the models, we consider a fixed rate of fragmentation for the largest … fragment and two different rates of fragmentation for the two regions of sizes above and below the transition size. The models …
