Rate-dependent constitutive modelling blasting crack initiation and propagation in rock masses

Abstract This study examines the fracture mechanism of cracks and the final blasting effects on defective rock masses under blasting loads. The failure processes of jointed rock with two prefabricated joints are investigated through numerical simulations using a two-dimensional finite element method...
