The experimental survival probability of one irregular shaped rock was established via 105 drop tests using mortar replicas.The derivation and validation of an analytical model to predict the survival probability of brittle rocks of irregular shape upon collinear impact is presented.The survival probability predicted by the model was found to fall withing 5% of the experimental data with an excellent goodness of fit coefficient (R2 ~ 93%).
