Modeling the axially symmetric crack growth under blasting and hydrofracturing near free surface

The authors developed the calculation procedures for equilibrium of an elastic body with spatial cracks by using the boundary element method and Peach -- Koehler approach, and implement these procedures in terms of the axially symmetric crack growth in the elastic half-space under the action of inte...

Description
Summary:The authors developed the calculation procedures for equilibrium of an elastic body with spatial cracks by using the boundary element method and Peach -- Koehler approach, and implement these procedures in terms of the axially symmetric crack growth in the elastic half-space under the action of internal pressure as a model of rock failure by hydrofracturing or blasting near free surface.
