Abstract:Schmidt hammer hardness (R L ) provides a quick and inexpensive measure of surface hardness that is widely used for estimating the mechanical properties of rock material such as strength, sawability, cuttability and drillability. In this study, R L as predictors, which is thought to be a useful, simple and inexpensive test particularly for performance prediction of chain saw machine (CSM), is suggested. This study aims to estimate CSM performance from R L values of rocks. For this purpose, rock cutting and roc… Show more
