Destruction of rocks at impulse loading depending on properties of material substance in a crack is investigated. The relationship between quasi-static deformations of granite blocks and material substance properties has been experimentally established. The developed technique allows to define quasi-static regularities of deformation of block media.
In the world around us there are many examples of environments composed of the same elements. These include biological structures, electrical circuits, and granular artificial materials. Similar structures composed of separate granules and blocks can be found in a rock formation. All these media have nonlinear properties and are extended. We are interested in the method of energy transfer through media of periodic structure.
Real rocks are characterized by a diverse heterogeneity of structure, so the problem of determining the properties of such media is no less urgent than the problem of their fracture
