Comminution

As with any material, rock particles only break when the applied tensile stress exceeds the tensile strength of the rock. However, in terms of comminution, the main interest is to derive reliable ways of assessing how a particular material breaks in a comminution device such as a crusher or a mill [].In general, the breakage of rock particles is dependent on two factors: …
