Abstract
The mechanism of fracture propagation from the circular blast holes with two symmetrical cracks in rock blasting operations was investigated by the displacement discontinuity method. The stress intensity factors at the crack tips of the pre-existing cracks were numerically determined using the displacement variations near the crack tips. In this paper, the variation of the displacement discontinuities along pre-existing cracks emanating from blast holes are studied and compared using linear, quadratic, and cubic collocations. For the crack tip behavior, cubic collections are used, and also the special crack tip element is employed to reduce the singularity at the crack tips. The numerical results of the normalized stress intensity factor for linear, quadratic, and cubic collocations of the displacement discontinuities compared with the analytical results. These sets of results are compared with one another, and good agreements have been reached between them.
期刊介绍：
Strength of Materials focuses on the strength of materials and structural components subjected to different types of force and thermal loadings, the limiting strength criteria of structures, and the theory of strength of structures. Consideration is given to actual operating conditions, problems of crack resistance and theories of failure, the theory of oscillations of real mechanical systems, and calculations of the stress-strain state of structural components.
