UDEC simulation for the dynamic response of a rock slope subject to explosions

Distinct element modelling of fracture plan control in continuum and jointed rock mass in presplitting method of surface mining

“…Joint properties are shown in Table 2 [28]. After modelling each model, blast pressure was applied to blastholes.…”

Earthquake response of external mine overburden dumps: a micromechanical approach

“…The DEM is a powerful tool for the stability analysis of the external overburden dumps during wave propagation at seismic events (Chuhan et al 1997;Liu et al 2004;Hatzor et al 2004;Knijnenburg 2008). The explicit solution in the time domain used in DEM is appropriate for following and analysing the time propagation of a stress wave.…”

Blast wave induced spatial variation of ground vibration considering field geological conditions

“…Over the years, many studies have been carried out, based on field tests [1,[7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]44], numerical simulations [4,5,[16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35], and theoretical analysis [36]. Nevertheless, there is still a lack of comprehensive study on the geological effect on the blast wave propagation.…”
