Study on the vibration prediction model of step group hole blasting considering non-stationarity by LI Hongchao, ZHANG Qipeng, HUANG Guoquan, SHI Yulian, HUANG Yonghui, HAN Haoxuan, YI Jiaxin, QU Chenliang

“…The necessity of this work lies in the fact that blasting vibration, as the most significant hazard in step blasting, directly threatens the safety of neighboring buildings and personnel, and accurate prediction of its characteristics is crucial for blasting engineering design and risk control.MethodsThis study takes the similarity between natural seismic wave and blasting vibration as the theoretical basis, uses the principle of modulated white noise to construct the frequency equation, processes the white noise through the filter and introduces the time-varying damping ratio and the intrinsic angular frequency, so as to make the frequency present non-stationarity; at the same time, the gamma function is selected as the intensity equation, which expresses the intensity non-stationarity with its ability to regulate the shape of the curve, and the product of the two constitutes the prediction model of single-hole blasting vibration X(t)=x(t)*A(t). …”
