Effect of Water-Deck Length on Blast-Induced Crack Propagation in Axial Decoupled Charges
摘要
This study proposes an in situ visualization method to investigate the dynamic fracturing behavior in axial decoupled charge blasting with water deck. Results demonstrated that blast-induced cracks initiated earlier at water-deck position and exhibited accelerated radial propagation, with the water-deck significantly enhancing crack velocity and fragmentation efficiency. The dual-end water-deck configuration achieved a peak initial crack velocity of 248.62 m/s and a maximum damage index of 1.668. Calibrated polymethacrylates model parameters enabled numerical simulation of blasting-induced dynamic fracture incorporating water-deck effects. Under explosive loading, the water-deck induced stress concentration and enhanced energy transfer efficiency. Compared with traditional charge structure, internal energy increased by 23.3 to 26.6% and blasting damage effect was improved by 29.47 to 54.97%. These findings provide more effective guidance for precision-controlled blasting in deep mining and tunneling.
