What could be the most suitable model for rocks (basalt) when subjected to blast loading. Should i go for brittle damage model such as JH model, RTH MODEL the literature contains from use of elasto-plastic models to brittle.
i need to focus on the nature of both tensile stresses developed as well as the compressive stresses near to the borehole.
I use the LS Dyna to model .
Kindly suggest.
