What is it about?

Using elementary seismology formulae I show that a peak-particle-distance versus vibration-velocity law can be deduced. In this formulation the role of the explosive, of the rock properties and blasting design are evident in a dimensinally correct expression.

Why is it important?

It could allow vibration-velocity forecasting with reasonable approximation.
