Abstract
An experimental study of fragmentation of brittle solids under the app lication of repeated impulsive force is made, emphasizing the behavior of the diversity of fragments. Several scaling relations involving di versity and number of fragments are obtained from experiments and the results are compared with computer simulations. (C) 1998 Elsevier Scie nce B.V.
