Synopsis

Mining extraction is arduous and constant work. Furthermore, the risk factors in such work are unpredictable during the development of the extraction activity. In this work, different fully specialized and profiled materials and tools are used to enhance and ensure a large extraction of minerals, which are then distributed and put on the market. Such tools, for example, include drills, shovels, pickaxes, among others. However, the materials used during extraction are what cause concern, since the handling of explosives in mines must be meticulous, by specialized professionals, such as mining engineers, who respect the exact measures for said activity and who have the necessary knowledge, in order to ensure optimal and safe extraction.
For optimal mining work: job security, optimal operating costs, favorable results, etc., different factors must be considered, with the aim of creating a mesh design, since the latter allows processing drilling and blasting operations. In this work, theories are addressed and a mathematical model of the relative power per volume of an explosive mixture and its influence on the design of drilling and blasting meshes is presented. In this way, the mining extraction work will be more efficient than when traditional methods are used.
