The Problem with Destruction Values We Use (Staff only)

Not open for further replies.
When I was about to learn of Freezing feats, someone made a revision.

And now that I want to do a fragmentation calc, this comes up.

Dread to the Lawmasters.

No, only frag and v. frag. Ugarik himself noted that pulverization calcs using compressive strength of a material is still okay.

I said only in specific cases like the one I linked in the last paragraph
 
Btw I don't think NarutoForums uses tensile strength for violent fragmentation, they use the high-end of shear strength or uniaxial compressive strength.

Is there a "high-end" for toughness?
 
Yeah, Vaporization is not an explosion value at all, it's just converting solid/liquid to a gas through heat. The calculation has its own methods.
 
What about the methods described here? Specifically the Kuznetsov equation (can't find source for its use in the post) or powder factor?. Powder factor is measured in explosives to shatter a volume of rock but we can easily convert weight of explosives to joules, and the powder factor of types of rock shouldn't be too hard to find. If the kuznetsov equation doesn't actually mean what the reddit poster thinks it means, then I'm not sure how violent frag or pulverization would work.
 
I'm pretty sure powder factor does NOT refer to pulverization (probably named powder factor because of gunpowder or something, I'm not an expert). What do we consider fragmentation vs violent frag?
 
Fragmentation: Applied when the matter that was destroyed was turned into fairly large and distinguishable pieces.

Violent Fragmentation: Applied when the matter that was destroyed was turned into small but still distinguishable pieces.

Pulverization: Applied when the matter that was destroyed was turned to dust. We usually use this value when we see no remains of the matter that was destroyed in the aftermath of the attack.
 
I can vaguely recall someone saying that the extent of fragmentation should be based not on how big each fragment is compared to the original object, but based on how big each fragment is. I'm probably wrong though, this is off the top of my head.

Also, to bring up this calc again because I'm too lazy to find other calcs that are like this, why is it considered pulverization? If it was fragmentation or violent fragmentation, couldn't the matter have just been launched off screen? Or just fallen off the mountain to a point that isn't on screen? The first example only applies to explosions, and the second one to stuff with slopes and whatnot.
 
I'm not sure, but it is considered pulverization when we see no remains of matter.

Anyway we should wait for Ugarik to take a look at the powder factor stuff to see if it works for violent fragmentation.
 
Basically this is a summary of the values for destroying a boulder. Splitting the boulder into smaller but still relatively large pieces of rock is fragmentation. Smashing them into tiny pebbles is violent fragmentation. If there's not a single shard of rock remaining and just rock salt left, it's pulverization.

So 7.7404 j/cc

The mean particle size is 16 cm though, sound more like fragmentation than violent fragmentation.
 
But anyway it's surpisenly close to by thoughness value assuming 100 cm is the lagest possible size
 
So the frag value for rock is slightly lower than the one we have huh

Weird.

EDIT: That value seems to only be for limestone, we need a value for sandstone and other rocks as well.
 
I don't understand why doesn't this equation have volume of the rock value. It abviously should be there

IDK, I find the equation too complicated for my own taste.

Are you talking about powder factor or Kuznetsov equation? Either way we only have to solve it once for each common material (eg rock steel blah blah) and we get the values.
 
What about wood tho? Pretty sure people don't use dynamite to blow up trees and get their wood.
 
The others which we can calc tho, like Spino did for limestone using the Kuznetzov equation via Jakuub's calc, prolly can be used, but I don't think we have any calc that uses limestone yet.

Bear in mind that not all rock or wood is the same and may differ depending upon the location or geography of the feat taking place.
 
Wood has toughness value of 0.67 J/cm3. 25x15x10 cm wooden block was destroyed by 2506 joules of work

Surpisenly it'sway more durable than rock and concrete because of it's high ductility even though wood is not nearly as strong
 
Actually calling wood more durable might be wrong because if you slam wooden and concrete block into each other wood will be destroyed while concrete remains in one piece. This is because weeker materials always absord energy first
 
If pulverization is staying compressive strength, it also need a change. 200 MPa isn't 200 j/cc, as it's actually 200000000 pascals, whereas 1 pascal = 1 joule per meter.

200 MPa would be more like 2000000 j/cc
