Relationship between energy per impulse and dynamic capacity of a rockbolt

The capacity of a rockbolt subjected to an impulse of energy varies as a function of the magnitude of the impulse of energy applied. This paper explores the relationship between the magnitude of the impulse of energy applied to a rockbolt and the resulting dynamic capacity. The result of this research shows that for a given velocity at impact, there is a linear relationship between the magnitude of the individual impulses of energy applied to a rockbolt and the resulting dynamic capacity of the rockbolt. The dynamic capacity of a rockbolt is not a constant value. During this research, the relationship between the magnitude of the impulse and the resulting displacement of the rockbolt is also examined.
