Journal of Mining Science Aims and scope

Abstract

Dilatancy zones generated by an active internal source of isolated force in a heterogeneous rock mass are studied. Based on the solution of an inverse problem, the method is proposed for locating and determining the source focus parameters using the measurement data on strains of the daylight surface.
