SUMMARY:Shock compression of geological materials - Simon Kirk\, SMF Group
 \, Cavendish Laboratory
DTSTART:20130523T150000Z

CONTACT:Stephen Walley
DESCRIPTION:Understanding the shock compression of geological materials is
  important for many applications\, and is particularly important to the mi
 ning industry. During blast mining the response to shock loading determine
 s the propagation speed and resulting fragmentation of the rock. The work 
 presented will include the shock response of fully dense and porous geolog
 ical materials. The response of fully dense geological material can be pre
 dicted from component crystal properties and molecular dynamics simulation
 s. The shock response of porous geological materials can be described usin
 g shock compaction models.
