Explosion-Induced Stress Wave Propagation in Interacting Fault System: Numerical Modeling and Implications for Chaoyang Coal Mine

Figure 1

Schematic geometry of the designed model. Two faults (A and B) with different dip angles (α and β) are installed in the model area. A blast loading function (purple curve) is applied at a rectangle area which is located on the left wall of the model (indicated by the red lines), with a range of 6 × 4 = 24 m2 (indicated by the brown area).
