Using granite as the research subject, soft-recovery techniques were employed to collect fragmented granite samples from the near-blasting area under varying pressures. Statistical analysis of micron-sized fragment distribution under ultra-high pressure was performed via an interactive machine learning-based image segmentation tool, with a focus on elucidating elastoplastic transitions in granite under different loading pressures and energy distribution during fragmentation. The results reveal that ultra-high pressure in the near-blasting area induces complex fracture phenomena in granite. Experiments demonstrate a shift from stepped fracture patterns to micro-cracking characteristics with increasing pressure, indicating that fragmentation energy accounts for no more than 23.68% of the total impact energy at 5.50 GPa. As impact pressure rises, rock fragment size decreases significantly while the proportion of fragmentation energy declines substantially. This research provides theoretical support and practical guidance for high-fidelity simulation of blasting processes and optimized blast design UR - https://doi.org/10.11858/gywlxb.20251113 DO - 10.11858/gywlxb.20251113
