Values greater than one are quite rare, seen as unusual and barely explained. Previous experimental research conducted in Australia has shown consistent and systematic values of the normal restitution coefficient greater than one. This was tentatively explained by a combination of parameters such as low impacting angle, rotational energy and block angularity. The study presented in this paper aims at (1) identifying the critical parameters conducting to high kn values and (2) at explaining the associated motion mechanisms. The objective was reached with values of kn up to almost 2. In addition, the study has confirmed the significance of low impacting angle, rotational energy and block shape in this context.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 11:19:49 AEST ]]> Experimental and numerical investigations on barriers for rockfall hazard mitigation https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:13504 Wed 11 Apr 2018 10:22:39 AEST ]]> Rock fall numerical modelling using a combined finite-discrete element approach https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:12074 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:11:19 AEDT ]]> The characteristics of rock fragments in the basalts of eastern Australia https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:12177 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:09:17 AEDT ]]>
