When material bearing explosive dynamics load is in failure state
it has the shear dilatancy behaviors
at the same time
the material structure and the elastic wave velocity are changed. The material volume strain and the velocity near explosive cavity are measured using strain gauge embedded in model body and acceleration sensor. Measuring results show that
in the model test
the similar failure rock zone area as reality under the explosion circumstance is obtained; the measuring methods are effective and reasonable
when it is used to monitor failure area in explosive model test and it can provide experimental basis for related analysis.
