Quasi-static-dynamic transformation numerical analysis of rock landslide based on the second-order work criterion
The failure of geological discontinuities often plays a significant role in controlling the failure of a rockslide. The second order work criterion can be used to analyse physical instabilities
except flutter instabilities. Hence
this study was to investigate the instabilities of geological discontinuities using the second order work criterion. First
regarding the instability of the major geological discontinuity
the advantage of this failure criterion was explained in mathematical approach; Second
the criterion was implemented into the FLAC finite-difference calculation software
and a two-dimensional numerical analysis was carried out to predict the occurrence of the rockslide in Nanfen Iron Mine
according to the corresponding monitoring data. Rockslides can be considered as a quasi-static to the dynamic transition
in which the sudden burst of kinetic energy indicates the occurrence of quasi-static-dynamic transition. Moreover
there is a direct relationship between the second order work and the second order kinetic energy. Therefore
the kinetic energy evolution curve can be estimated
which can prove the validity of the second-order work on identifying the failure of the rockslide.
