| Abstract | This paper presents the results of controlled fracture experiments designed to investigate the effects on flake mass of varying the mass and velocity of the hammer. It was found that the contribution of these two independent variables are almost negligible for a given combination of exterior platform angle and platform thickness, though they must be sufficient to initiate production of a flake of a given potential mass. |
