Diversity of fragments in the collapse of brittle solids11This work was supported in part by CNPq, FAPESP, and FINEP (Brazilian Government Agencies).

An experimental study of fragmentation of brittle solids under the application of repeated impulsive force is made, emphasizing the behavior of the diversity of fragments. Several scaling relations involving diversity and number of fragments are obtained from experiments and the results are compared with computer simulations.
