Abstract
A constitutive model for the simulation of fracture and fragmentation processes in rapidly loaded rocks is studied. The model was included in a wave propagation finite element code. The results obtained from two different configurations of explosive charge and reflecting surfaces in a plane strain problem were studied. The evolution of the time-dependent fracture pattern is presented.
