Notes:
The high-speed fracture mechanism of glass bottles by using underwater shockwave andthe recycling process by crushing the glass bottles were discussed. The proposed crushing processof the glass bottles can decrease the recycle cost by generating small fragments called "Cullet" andby executing the washing process at the same time as the crushing process. In this study, therelations between the "Cullet" sizes and various explosive conditions, that is, the distance fromexplosive, the amount, the velocity and the shapes of explosive, were clarified by using beer bottles,and the influence of the serial and concentric arrangements of two or more bottles on "cullet" sizeswere examined. Moreover the behaviors of the underwater shockwave were observed by framingphotograph method, shadowgraph method, illumination photography method and the FEMsimulation was executed in order to make clear the high speed fracture mechanism
