The effects of gravel cushion particle size and thickness on the coefficient of restitution in rockfall impacts
<p>Gravel cushions are widely used to absorb the impact energy of falling rocks in open-pit mines. A particularly important application is to enhance the energy-absorbing capacity of rockfall sheds. In this paper, we study how varying the thickness and particle size of a gravel cushion infl...
