- Computationally efficient method to accurately model rapidly fragmenting bodies with application to industrial blasting. Led to author Zimmerman's invitation to give plenary keynote lecture at the 1st International Conference on Geo-mechanics, Geo-energy, and Geo-resources, Melbourne, 2016 (http://www.ic3g.com/2016/index.php) and crucial to Zimmerman and author Paluszny winning a £2.2M grant (FracBlast, P80092) to model blasting from international mining company BHP.
