The experimental results showed that cyclic impact led to mesoscale fracture and strength deterioration in rock specimens. As the number of impacts increased, the dynamic peak stress of marble decreased, and the maximum strain and the energy absorbed by marble increased. At the same time, cyclic impacts generated continuous …
A quarry is a place where rocks, sand, or minerals are extracted from the surface of Earth. A quarry is a type of mine called an open-pit mine, because it is open to Earth's surface.
