Study of Passive Protective Net Protecting the Rockfall Caused by Open‐Pit Blasting on High and Steep Slope

Abstract

In order to prevent rockfall caused by open-pit blasting on the high and steep slope and ensure that the passive protective net structure has sufficient impact resistance, the mechanism of blasting flyrock causing rockfall is analyzed by using ANSYS/AUTODYN to establish the model of rockfall and passive protective net; at the same time, the influences of protective net size, rockfall kinetic energy, and rockfall size to the protective effect were also studied. The results show that under the condition of the same rockfall kinetic energy and rockfall size, the larger the size of the protective net, the longer the buffer time, and the impact force that net can sustain is greater; by assuming the protective net size and rockfall size to be a constant, the greater the rockfall kinetic energy, the less the interaction time between rock and net, and the greater the impulse force that net can suffer; similarly, by keeping the protective net size and the kinetic energy of rockfall to be a constant, it is found that the larger the size of the rockfall, the larger the interaction area and longer interaction time with the net, and the less net will be disrupted; the protective net used in the mine can intercept the rockfall caused by flyrock in blasting process effectively and ensure the safety of villager at the foot of the mountain.

Analysis of Traction and Unfolding Dynamics of Space-Symmetric Flexible Webs for UAV Interception and Capture

“…Due to the advantages of large area coverage, being fast forming, having lightweight flexibility, and low costs, the application of the new space flexible web was extended from the initial capture of non-cooperative objects in space to applications such as slope protection webs [15] and parachutes [16]. The design concept and research methods of the new space flexible web were also used in the research.…”
