Technical Notes - Cumulative and Weight Retained Tables for the Gaudin-Meloy Size Distribution

In a recent paper, Gaudin and Meloy1 derived a size distribution function for single, impact fracture. Mular2 extended the use of this size distribution to describe the output of carefully controlled grinding experiments. As it stands, the function is difficult to compute. Consequently, a series of tables of the function are presented below: where M(x) is the cumulative fraction finer than size x when x is particle size. Weight percents are tabulated for the single parameter, r, in three different size ranges: from 0 to 1, from 1 to 10 and from 10 to 100. Tables I, II and III are cumulative percent finer and Tables IV, V and VI are for weight percent passing screen size x, retained on the screen below. A number of conditions from the table are plotted in Figs. 1 and 2. Fig. 1 is a plot of the cumulative percent finer vs. size, and Fig. 2 is the weight per-
