| Abstract: | In underground explosions executed in the interests of ejection, downcomer funnel or bulging hillock formation, the soil properties influence not only the quantitative parameters substantially, but also the qualitative pattern of the explosion. Thus, under the same conditions of charge embedding and power, a downcomer funnel or bulging hillock can be formed depending on the properties of the rock. The majority of explosions are performed in hard rock. Hence, the model of the soil should be suitable to describe its fundamental properties. A model of rocky soil is presented in this paper, the scheme for a numerical computation of the problem is described, and results of certain computations are presented.Translated from Zhurnal Prikladnoi Mekhaniki i Tekhnicheskoi Fiziki, No. 3, pp. 153–160, May–June, 1979. |
