Experiments and Fluent–Engineering Discrete Element Method-Based Numerical Analysis of Block Motion in Underwater Rock-Plug Blasting

نویسندگان

چکیده

Underwater rock-plug blasting is a special technique for excavating underwater inlets. In the process of excavation, blasting-block movement from difference in water pressure inside and outside tunnel one key factors successful construction. Laboratory experiments were conducted using small explosive charges, high-speed camera was adopted to observe study block motion. Then, numerical simulations model experiment based on Fluent Engineering Discrete Element Method (EDEM) coupling program developed user-defined function (UDF) interface reveal mechanism underpinning penetration blasting. The results showed that motion can be divided into two stages. first stage, broken blocks move sides along axis rock plug under blast load. A crater formed downstream end face effects free face, while upstream loosened, or are ejected influence pressure. second flow broken-rock pit scouring gravity, and, finally, penetrated. larger head opening angle are, better effect is. Fluent–EDEM algorithm good agreement with experimental terms velocity curve blocks, indicating method had favorable simulating interaction during findings expected promote application popularization provide reference water-intake water-diversion projects.

Rock Slope Stability Analysis Using Discrete Element Method

Rock slope stability depends very much on the strength features of the rock and the geometrical and strength characteristics of the discontinuities (e.g., roughness, wall strength and persistence). Since a rock mass is not a continuum, its behavior is dominated by such discontinuities as faults, joints and bedding planes. Also, Rock slope instability is a major hazard for human activities and o...

Sensitivity Analysis of Stress and Cracking in Rock Mass Blasting using Numerical Modelling

Drilling and blasting have numerous applications in the civil and mining engineering. Due to the two major components of rock masses, namely the intact rock matrix and the discontinuities, their behavior is a complicated process to be analyzed. The purpose of this work is to investigate the effects of the geomechanical and geometrical parameters of rock and discontinuities on the rock mass blas...

Soil and Rock Slope Stability Analysis based on Numerical Manifold Method and Graph Theory

Limit equilibrium method, strength reduction method and Finite Difference Methods are the most prevalently used methods for soil and rock slope stability analysis. However, it can be mention that those have some limitations in practical application. In the Limit equilibrium method, the constitutive model cannot be considered and many assumptions are needed between slices of soil and rock. The s...

Numerical Simulation of the Rock SHPB Test with a Special Shape Striker Based on the Discrete Element Method

A split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) system with a special shape striker has been suggested as the test method by the International Society for Rock Mechanics (ISRM) to determine the dynamic characteristics of rock materials. In order to further verify this testing technique and microscopically reveal the dynamic responses of specimens in SHPB tests, a numerical SHPB test system was establishe...
