A hybrid dimensional analysis fuzzy inference system approach was introduced to predict blast-induced flyrock in surface mining, by integrating a dimensional analysis procedure and Mamdani's fuzzy inference system. In the dimensional analysis, the blast-induced flyrock was considered as a function of the most effective parameters. Hence, a number of dimensionless products resulted and were used as input and output parameters of Mamdani's fuzzy inference system. The capability of the hybrid approach was determined by comparing its results with the real measurement of flyrock in the case of a copper mine, based on a number of 320 in situ blasting datasets. Predictions by the system were close to the real measurements. Sensitivity analysis of the hybrid dimensional analysis fuzzy inference system showed that the most effective dimensionless products on flyrock distance were spacing, the multiplication of rock mass rating and hole length, and the subtraction of burden and hole length multiplication and stemming length.
