Abstract

The temporal zonal disintegration process is studied on the basis of irreversible thermal dynamics, the theory of continuous phase transition, and elastoplasticity theories. A spatial and temporal analytical solution to the problem of zonal disintegration near deep-level tunnels is given, and some laws of the zonal disintegration evolution are demonstrated.
