Abstract:

A study of the dynamic rock fracture initiation and propagation due to explosive energy is presented through a detailed state-of-the-art review. Explosive energy dissipation in crushing and fracturing is examined and the various means to enhance the explosive energy utilization for dynamic rock fracturing are reviewed. The study highlights the need for a better understanding of the dynamic fracturing process particularly in the presence of in situ stresses in the rock mass.

Keywords: Dynamic rock fracturing; Explosive energy; Ideal detonation; Non-ideal detonation; Shock waves; Gas pressure; Explosive energy and fracturing zone
