[pic 4]CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION1.1 BACKGROUNDThe mechanism of dynamic failure of rock mass is very complicated since discontinuities such as cleavage cracks and defects with different shapes and orientations are commonly encountered in rock mass and they have significant influence on the deformation and failure characteristics of rock.It is impractical to consider the effects of rock cracks and defects individually in studying underground seismic wave propagation. Therefore, a reliable equivalent continuum model for rock mass under dynamic loading, which takes into account the rock constitutive relation, strength and failure characteristics, as well as strain rate effect, will be extremely useful. It is clear that the commonly used elasto-plastic and perfectly brittle models are simplifications of the actual behavior of a material. Damage models do not take into consideration the pressure sensitive strength criterion. A pressure sensitive strength criteria i.e. Mohr-Coulomb criterion has been suggested and used to model the plastic flow of brittle materials such as rock, concrete and soil. But this model does not consider the elastic degradation and the rate-dependent properties of rock mass. Although rock always exhibits anisotropy after macro cracks occur, isotropic damage model is proved as an effective method to estimate the gross damage of rock mass subjected to blast. Among the continuum damage models, the damage scalar is defined as functions of the damaged Poissons ratio, or extensional strain, or volumetric tensile strain[1] In volumetric compressive state, with the exception of very highly confined triaxial states of compressive loading, the response of brittle materials is highly influenced by the magnitude of the maximum principal tensile strain. This implies damage (the material stiffness degrading or softening) to rock mass may occur either by tensile or compressive stress although it is in volumetric compressive state at the near field of detonation. The effective Youngs modulus decreases with increasing initial damage parameter value, and an apparent work-softening process occurs before failure. The decrease of P-wave velocity and effective Youngs modulus is also observed. Thus, properly considering rock damage characteristics in numerical simulation of wave propagation is very important since the dissipation of energy by damage and plastic flow will cause rapid attenuation of shock wave.
