Nobel Fire Advanced Vibration Prediction

Advanced Vibration Prediction is Dyno Nobel’s vibration prediction tool designed to revolutionize the way the mining industry approaches vibration. While traditional models assume every blasthole will generate an identical wave, Advanced Vibration Prediction accounts for variability in blasting, including confinement, charge weight, bearing to structure, geological differences, and destructive and constructive interference, for the most accurate vibration prediction in the industry.

The most accurate vibration prediction in the industry

Through a proprietary waveform generation algorithm, Advanced Vibration Prediction uses a seed waveform as a starting point. It then generates thousands of synthetic waveforms to add variability to the synthetic convoluted blasting outcomes. These iterations of a single blast give a stochastic analysis that provides the likelihood of all potential outcomes so operations of all shapes and sizes can predict vibration outcomes with confidence.

Fracture Density Model

Physics-Based Fragmentation Modeling
FDM is Dyno Nobel’s industry leading physics-based fragmentation model. Built with the end-user in mind, it’s an advanced modelling tool that anyone can use. Through an automated calibration process, the model can be calibrated using a single or series of blasts that have been measured, making the model extremely accurate for operations’ specific geology. Modelling future outcomes significantly reduces the operational impact of continuous improvement projects, including cost reduction, fines reduction, oversize reduction, and pattern expansions.
