The simulator Maximum
Flyrock from Back Row depends on equations which are
based on the fundamental laws of Physics, of
Chemistry, and of Rock Mechanics. It simulates
flyrock of the normal type, i. e. projections due to
the normal action of an explosion on a rock fragment
located on a free face of the second row. A
simulation first calculates the launch velocity of
each fragment projected from the top free face of the
bench of a back row; it uses this launch velocity
together with the launch point of a given fragment to
calculate the range and altitude of the flight
trajectory, and stores these in a data base. Then the
simulator seeks in this data base the maximum value of
the ranges of the different fragments as well as the
maximum value of the altitudes. The maximum range and
the maximum altitude are not usually associated with
the same fragment. Finally, the simulator graphically
displays the trajectories of these flyrocks of maximum
range and of maximum altitude projected from a back
row, as well as the numerical values of these maximum
range and maximum altitude. |
