Abstract

Partially or fully buried explosive on detonation releases a large amount of kinetic energy a part of which gets dissipated during creation of crater and the rest gets converted into ground shock. Both phenomena are of complex nature with involvement of non-linearity in both loading and material characteristics. This review aims at providing an insight into mechanisms involved during an event of buried explosion with varying degree of confinement. Factors affecting crater formation and ground shock propagation in media are discussed in detail. An overview of various prediction methods developed over the years based on dimensional analysis and theory of similarity to estimate crater dimensions and magnitude of ground shock and ground motion along with their limitations is presented. Prediction models used to define and optimise rock fragmentation distribution in surface mining operations are additionally reviewed and discussed. Various state-of-the-art experimental and numerical techniques are discussed in brief. Finally, it discusses the challenges involved in both experimental and numerical analysis and thereby provides alternative solutions and suggestions for further investigations in specific areas of lacuna.
