Measurement of impact forces in ball mills: a reanalysis

The data of Dunn and Martin (1978) is reanalyzed using a rigorous application of Hertzian theory to the impact process. The Young's modulus of steel required to fit their data to the theory is a factor of about 103, too low compared to the values quoted for steels. Thus, doubt is thrown on the validity of their experimental technique, and it is …
