1. Introduction
Currently, over 80 % of rock volumes are destroyed in open rock mining with drilling and blasting operations (DBO), which predetermine efficiency of all subsequent processes of mineral mining and processing. Costs of drilling and blasting operations in the total cost of a unit of extracted rock mass measure up to 15-25 % [1].
In blasting practice, elongated explosive charges are widely used for both open and underground mining of minerals. Explosion of such charges results in a motion of gaseous detonation products possessing certain features: 90 % of the detonation wave energy is directed at an angle of 70...80° to the longitudinal axis of the borehole and 10 % along it [2]. Such a motion of the detonation wave does not contribute to the maximum transformation of the wave energy into the work of nucleation of initial microcracks in the borehole walls and a significant part of it is uselessly transferred to the lower layers of the rock body. Thus, the so-called «sleeves» are formed which can only be avoided by means of subdrilling. Depending on the physical and mechanical properties of the rock body, its length varies from 2 to 4 m [3].

Essential shortcomings of subdrilling are as follows:
1) longer time and higher drilling costs (20...30 % higher cost of drilling works and explosives);
2) a significant part of explosives is placed in the subdrilling. As a result, the charge is removed from the rock body to be crushed which worsens crushing of the upper part of the hole shoulder and increases yield of oversize pieces;
3) increase in crack formation in the upper part of the underlying shoulder. This adversely affects drilling holes in it, reduces productivity of drilling rigs to two times and increases quantity of oversized pieces [3].
Proceeding from this fact, elimination of subdrilling will reduce consumption of explosives and improve the charge work, especially for the first-row boreholes. In addition, absence of subdrilling will significantly reduce drilling work volumes.
A closer attention to studying the processes occurring at the borehole bottom contributes to a more effective execution of drilling and blasting works. Taking into account a significant share of expenses for drilling and blasting operations in the unit cost of production, these activities are relevant.
2. Literature review and problem statement
In destruction of rocks, stress concentrators are of great importance. Artificial creation of various notches or incisions in the body in a mechanical or explosive way [4] can significantly reduce the load required for rock fracture. The conducted studies show that the peak stresses are largely determined by the defect curvature (hole curvature in this case), they can exceed many times the value of the stresses in a solid plate at the curvature apex [5].
T = T„
1 + 2 J p
(1)
where To is the fracture stress in absence of defects, Pa; l is the notch depth, m; p is the curvature radius at the notch apex, m.
Numerous studies, mainly related to metal parts, have shown that expression (1) is valid not only for elliptical holes, but also for holes and defects of any shape on the contour of which there are points with a small curvature radius.
Application of this effect to improve efficiency of rock destruction was mainly limited to a directed splitting. Studies [6] have shown that it is possible to eliminate the shortcomings connected with the use of subdrilling by intensifying development of transverse cracks forming at the drillhole bottom while simultaneously reducing intensity of pinning along the charge axis. The desired effect can be achieved by applying the methods used in directed splitting, one of which is artificial violation of the material continuity in a specified direction. To improve the process of working the notch bottom, an incision should be formed at the junction of the borehole walls and bottom in a form of a ring in the base plane [6]. The ring notch can be formed by a mechanical or explosive method. Annular notching at the junction between the borehole walls and bottom facilitates formation of an initial horizontal crack in the bottom zone. Further, gaseous detonation products (DP) lengthen this crack by penetration into it. Presence of a crack already formed in the given crack zone will contribute to a strengthening of the quasi-static action of gaseous DP at the bottom section of the borehole and an achievement of the design plane of rock separation.
However, formation of a ring notch in the bottom of the borehole is a difficult task, special drilling equipment is required which entails longer duration and higher costs of drilling operations.
It is possible to refuse from subdrilling thru the use of borehole explosive charges intended for crushing rocks and having an air cushion in the lower part of the charge, which provides a normal working of the shoulder foot. An intensive destruction of the rock body in the lower part of the borehole and its better crushing are realized due to the interaction of shock waves formed by the air gap.
Theoretical studies [7] show that when detonation products flow through the air cushion, an incident shock wave propagates in front of which a pressure of about 200-300 kg/cm2 arises depending on the type of explosive. The incident shock wave is reflected after reaching the well bottom. At the same time, a reflected shock wave propagates through the explosion products in front of which a sharp pressure growth takes place. Thus, the effect of a double shock wave in the lower part of the well, which results in a repeated pressure can create favorable conditions for better processing of the shoulder foot which enables 50 % less subdrilling or even its complete abandonment.
When loading watered wells, dispersal with tamping or other materials should be avoided as this material gets into the charge and leads to worsening the detonation ability or a failure of the charge detonation. The most practically feasible and cheap way at present is making air gaps of foamed polystyrene.
One of the simplest methods requiring no additional expenses for lessening subdrilling consists in the use of the effect of meeting detonation waves to strengthen action of explosion in the bottom part of the borehole. Placement of two charges in such a way that the detonation waves can meet at the shoulder foot can ensure a significant growth of pressure [8].
To eliminate the problem of subdrilling, new designs of borehole explosive charges based on the change of motion direction of the shock wave and gaseous DP have been developed recently. This is achieved by placement of a shock wave concentrator (SWC) in the bottom of the well [9]. The disadvantage of SWC is burnout of loose explosives. In addition, shock wave and DP change their motion direction to an angle other than 90°. As a result, a part of explosion energy is expended on the useless shaking of the rock body, which leads to a decrease in the utilization rate of the borehole. The use of SWC is complicated in horizontal and inclined boreholes because it is unsteady and will fall on the borehole wall.
To develop new methods for improvement of the shoulder foot, a deep physics study of the processes occurring at the hole bottom is necessary. The most economically feasible way to achieve results in this direction is the use of mathematical modeling. To study fast processes, software complexes, which apply explicit methods of solving equations of continuous medium mechanics, have become widely used at present.
ANSYS AUTODYN is an analytical tool for solving explicitly formulated problems for modeling complex nonlinear dynamics of solids, liquids, gases and interactions between them. It is a powerful tool for interdisciplinary calculations in explicitly formulated problems providing a wide range of modeling capabilities including high-speed impacts or explosion. AUTODYN has proven itself in the tasks of ballistic loading of materials. Simulation of behavior of such materials is impossible without taking into account complex anisotro-pic elastoplastic character of behavior, nonlinear nature of shock-wave compression, and anisotropic fracture with the effects of progressive loss of strength. AUTODYN's ability to connect hydrodynamic and strength solvers also enables simulation of combined explosion and fragmentation effects on the structures.
3. The aim and tasks of research
The study objective was to assess the effect of geometry of the borehole bottom in a granite body during explosive detonation on distribution of stresses and growth of an initial annular crack.
To achieve this objective, the following tasks were set:
- evaluate influence of the rounding radius on the parameters of the formed initial crack;
- determine the nature of change in the length of the initial crack depending on the rounding radius;
- investigate effect of the rounding radius on the change in the width of the initial crack.
4. the procedure of studying the effect of the borehole bottom geometry in
detonation of an explosive charge
In the present study, computer simulation of the effect of the rounding radius at the borehole bottom in a granite body was carried out during detonation of the explosive charge on distribution of stresses and growth of the initial annular crack. Four cases were considered: with a cylindrical borehole shape and a toroidal shape with radii of rounding 10, 20 and 40 mm. The system includes atmospheric air, a sand tamping, a charge of explosives and a granite body. The geometric dimensions of the model in the longitudinal section are shown in Fig. 1.

The process of detonation is numerically described by a general system of differential equations. The equations consist of the laws of conservation of mass, momentum, energy, additional equations and real models of explosive, air, sand and granite. Real models play an important role connecting strain and internal energy. Fluids and gases are modeled to a sufficient degree by the equation of state (EOS) which expresses the relationship between pressure p, specific volume V and specific energy e. Additional equations are needed for modeling solids since solids have shear resistance.
To model complex dynamic processes in AUTODYN, there is a possibility of a common use of various numerical methods that best suit the specifics of each part of the problem. For example, one type of solver can be used in one task to calculate fluid and gas flows, and another one to calculate the structure strength. At the same time, interaction of all parts in space and time was organized within the framework of a single program.
AUTODYN solvers can be divided into the following categories: Lagrangian, Euler, ALE (arbitrary Lagrangian-Euler method), SPH (smoothed particles method). For the correct choice of a solver, two criteria must be considered: accuracy and productivity. Tables 1, 2 show basic and additional equations of solvers, respectively [10]. Table 3 shows definitions and units of variables.

With Lagrange's approach to the description of motion of a continuous medium, the computational grid is «frozen» into the material, it moves and deforms simultaneously with it (Fig. 2). Lagrangian solvers are the most accurate and effective method for calculating nonlinear problems of dynamic loading of structures. The main drawback of the Lagrangian methods is excessive distortion and «entanglement» of the computational grid at large deformations leading to loss of accuracy in these areas and sometimes to a complete termination of calculation. In AUTODYN, this problem can be partially solved by using an artificial erosion algorithm, which removes excessively deformed elements from the calculation.

The Euler solvers use computational grids that are rigidly fixed in space. The medium motion is formed by the flow of materials from one cell to another (Fig. 3). This approach avoids the problems associated with the grid distortion. Therefore, Euler solvers are ideally suited for calculating flows of a medium with large deformations, especially fluid flows and gases. AUTODYN includes two types of Euler solvers: a multicomponent Euler solver designed to simulate the flow of several materials, and a one-component specialized Euler solver for calculating air shock waves (Euler-FCT (Flux Corrected Transport)) which enables calculation of flows of only one material with the perfect gas equation.

ALE, like the Lagrangian method, uses grids moving together with the material. At the same time, it combines the best aspects of the Lagrangian and Euler approaches. The use of Euler algorithms is reduced to alignment and correction of the computational grid. Alignment of the grid makes it possible to avoid the procedure of artificial erosion and can be effectively used for explosive loading of structures.
AUTODYN also includes the gridless Lagrange method of smoothed particles SPH (Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics). The main area of its application is calculation of high-speed interactions as well as modeling destruction and fragmentation of brittle materials, such as ceramics, concrete, etc. [11].
A unique feature of the AUTODYN software package is the possibility of combining contact algorithms and Lagran-gian-Euler coupling in one calculation, which makes it possible to carry out a complex analysis of the combined loading of structures for the action of shock wave and fragmentation effects.
AUTODYN has its own library of materials but the sand model presented in the library is not sufficient to simulate the release of sand tamping into environment and there are no tetranitropentaerythritol (TEN) and granite in the library. Therefore, the possibilities of creating and modifying materials available in the library can be used.
To determine the model of sand, use the data obtained in work [12]. The model was obtained for sand with 6.57 % moisture content. The model was obtained by means of
a triaxial compression, which made it possible to measure velocities of waves in a sand sample. A brief description of the sand model is presented in Table 4 and in Fig. 4-6.

In the presented model, flow out boundary was used as a boundary condition. This condition allows the material to leave the calculated region under loading, that is, reflection is not allowed at this boundary. Granite and its environment (atmospheric air) expanding under the influence of explosive loading can freely cross the boundaries of the model without reflection. This boundary condition can be only applied to the material for which Euler's solver is used.
A two-dimensional axisymmetric model with rotation around the x axis was developed using a multi-solver. To increase accuracy of the results, millimeters, milligrams, milliseconds were used as basic units of measurement. Four equidistant initiation points of explosion initiation were added to the system, their step of response time was 3.1296 • 102 ms taking into account the detonation velocity. An initial condition equal to 2.068 • 105 was added to the air body; it gives the air pressure equal to 1 atmosphere. An additional condition was also applied to the whole system in a form of gravity the vector of which is directed along the x axis. The scheme of the model with coordinates of the node points in the coordinate system x; y is shown in Fig. 9.
Fig. 9. Configuration of the model of explosion in the granite borehole
An important step in the model compilation is construction of a finite-element grid. The dimensions of atmospheric air grids and the charge of explosives can be neglected. The granular structure of sand and the requirements to the accuracy of calculating formation and growth of fracture sites in a granite body require an introduction of a larger number of cells. The increase in the number of cells in the model enables obtaining of a more adequate simulation result (Fig. 10) but it significantly increases the task calculation time, especially in low-performance systems.
5. The results obtained in modeling fracture of the borehole bottom during detonation of the explosive charge
As the calculation results have shown, kinetic energy of the explosive charge was exhausted in about 3 ms and its further change occurred only due to reflection of the shock wave from the hole walls and the sand tamping (Fig. 11). This indicates completion of the process of the explosive detonation by this time.

As a result of trial calculations, the following optimal conditions for constructing finite element grids of the model components were selected (Table 7).

To solve the fracture problem, a personal computer with a Intel Core i5 CPU having the clock speed of 2.60 GHz and RAM memory space of 4 GB was used. For the indicated parameters of the computational model, solution of the problem under the condition of limiting time of 8 ms (about 25.000 calculation cycles) took about eight hours of continuous operation. The total amount of occupied disk space for solving the problem at a condition of writing the saved files every 0.01 ms of the calculated process was about 900 MB.
However, as the graph of the change in the speed of displacement of the nodes in the grid located near the borehole bottom shows (Fig. 12), further displacement of the grid nodes was occurring.
Fig. 12. Graph of the change in speed of displacement of nodes of a finite-element grid of the granite body
This indicates a continuation of deformation of the body parts and further growth of cracks under the action of inertia forces and accumulated stresses. As can be seen from the obtained stress diagrams (Fig. 13-16), the change in stresses and crack growth in all four cases have ceased approximately at the time point equal to 7-8 ms.
The obtained diagrams make it possible to conclude that even when the strain growth ceases, considerable accumulated stresses are observed in all cases.

6. Discussion of the results obtained in modeling effect of the borehole bottom geometry on the character _of the well fracture_
As it was mentioned earlier, one of the features of the Lagrangian solver is the rigid coupling of the finite element grid to the material and their joint movement and deformation. This type of solver calculates movement of the grid nodes under the action of explicit loading (detonation of the explosive charge and expansion of the detonation products) but does not take into account spontaneous fracture of samples under the action of accumulated stresses.
Such fracture corresponds to the theory of the mine percussion nature [6]. In a general case, the condition for occurrence of a mine percussion is written in a form of inequality
N > T = aAoc,
(2)
where N and T are the total normal and tangential stresses in the sample, Pa; A, is the stress range taken equal to depth h of the hole, m; a is dimensionless function A depending on the form of working (for A « h, a is taken equal to 0.5); oc is the ultimate strength for uniaxial compression, Pa.
Thus, appearance of disturbed zones in the samples will take place in the regions where the stress equal to
T = 0,5-15 150-106 = 1,125-109 Pa is exceeded.
Having set up the mapping of isolines in the obtained samples in such a way that the lower limit of isolines was equal to the obtained value, it is possible to outline the fracture zones of the granite body (Fig. 17).
Fig. 17. Distribution of detonation products in the sample (the blue zone) and isolines of the normal stress with a lower threshold of 1.125-109 Pa (the green line) in the longitudinal section of a granite body with a size grid (grid pitch of 25 mm): a - rr = 0; b - rr = 10 mm; c - rr=20 mm; d - rr=40 mm
Analysis of the resulting fracture zones (Fig. 17, 18) makes it possible to draw the following conclusions:
- the change in the relative borehole bottom rounding radius r = rr/D0 from 0 to 0.04 has no significant affect on the relative radius of the fracture zone at the level of the borehole bottom: if it is assumed that for rr ^ 0 it is equal to Rcr = 1, then for rr=0.04 this radius is equal to 0.9.
- an increase in the rounding radius from 20 mm (r = 0.08) to 40 mm (r = 0,16) results in a significant decrease in the relative radius of the fracture zone, namely:
Rcr = 0.67 at rr = 0.08, Rcr = 0.61 at r = 0.16;
- reduction of the borehole bottom rounding radius results in a decrease in the relative average width of the discshaped fracture zone: it is 1 for rr ^ 0 and 1.67; 2 and 1.33 for rr = 10, 20, 40 mm respectively. Consequently, presence of a stress concentrator makes it possible to form a narrower and longer initial crack.

2 - change in the relative width bcr
7. Conclusions
The theoretical studies of features of crack formation and enhancement of the dynamic effect in the lower part of the explosive charge made it possible to reveal dependence of the character of crack formation in the lower rock layers on the relative radius of rounding between the bottom and the walls of the borehole. As a result of these studies, the following was established:
1. With a relative rounding radius < 0.04, a practically horizontal crack is formed (the slope of its plane is 12-15° to the horizontal inward the body).
2. The length of this crack decreases linearly with an increase in
3. Change in the relative width of the initial crack depending on rÇr, is described by a polynomial of the second degree.
