Study on the vibration prediction model of step group hole blasting considering non-stationarity by LI Hongchao, ZHANG Qipeng, HUANG Guoquan, SHI Yulian, HUANG Yonghui, HAN Haoxuan, YI Jiaxin, QU Chenliang

“…The parameters were determined by trial-and-error method to obtain the approximation interval, and then the optimal parameter combinations were optimized by orthogonal test-polar deviation analysis. Subsequently, a group-hole blasting vibration prediction model was constructed based on the single-hole model, combined with Anderson's linear superposition principle, and taking into account the delay time of the holes and the proportion coefficients of the charge volume.Results and Discussions　In the single-hole blasting vibration monitoring experiment of an open-pit copper mine, the peak vibration velocity error predicted by the single-hole blasting vibration prediction model is 2%, and the main frequency is completely consistent with the measured value, which is significantly better than Sadowski's formula (43% error in the peak vibration velocity and 12% error in the main frequency). …”
