The Effect of Confining Pressures on Rock Fracturing under Dynamic Loads

Article Preview

Abstract:

In order to investigate the effect of confining pressures on rock dynamic fracturing under dynamic loads, a 2D finite difference dynamic numerical model for a circular rock sample with a single centralized borehole is developed. According to the material properties and loading conditions, shock and linear equations of state are combined and applied to the rock material in this model. A modified principal stress failure criterion is applied to determining material status. It is shown that as the increase of mining depth, the extent of blasting-induced damage of rock increases significantly.
