Numerical test study on propagation law of cylindrical wave superimposed into plane wave and response characteristics of rockbolts by Ziyou YANG, Benshui YANG, Yang HE, Junjie LIU

“…In order to reproduce the visualization process and propagation laws of plane waves formed by the superposition of explosive cylindrical waves, with reference to the results of the indoor model test as a reference basis, a numerical test was carried out to investigate the interaction between the superposition of explosive cylindrical waves and the surrounding rock of the anchorage cavern with the help of nonlinear explicit dynamic analysis software. The propagation law of plane wave in the rock mass was analyzed, the distribution characteristics of dynamic cracks in the surrounding rock of unreinforced and anchorage caverns were compared, and the response laws of the rockbolts to the plane wave were discussed and analyzed in comparison with the results of the corresponding model tests. …”
