Laser Method Measures Hidden Stress Waves in Rock During Blasts
Original: Laser Physics Trick Measures Hidden Stress Waves Inside Rock Under Blast Loading
Researchers have applied a laser-based physics technique to measure stress waves moving inside rock during blast loading, revealing internal dynamics that conventional surface sensors cannot capture. The approach could improve understanding of how rock fractures and fails under explosive loading, with potential implications for mining, tunnelling and other rock engineering work where blast-induced damage matters. Further details of the research team and findings were not available.
