journal contribution

The key component of the proposed method, that is, transition from continuum to discontinuum through fracture and fragmentation, is introduced in detail, which makes the proposed method superior to the continuum-based finite element method and discontinuum-based discrete element method. The FDEM is calibrated by modelling the crater formation process by blast. The FDEM has well modelled the stress and fracture propagation and resultant fragmentation process. In addition, the proposed method has well captured the crushed zone, cracked zone, and the radial long crack zone. After that, the FDEM is employed to model the dynamic fracture and resultant fragmentation process by blast during sublevel caving process in an underground mine. Then the FDEM has well modelled the stress propagation process, as well as the fracture initiation and fragmenting process. Finally, the effects of borehole spacing and initial gas pressure are discussed. It is concluded that the FDEM is a value numerical approach to study the dynamic rock fracture process by blast.
