Abstract

The overall dynamic mechanical behavior of a double-scale discontinuous rock mass with a nonlinear deformational macrojoint was investigated. A method of combining the split three characteristic lines with the piecewise linear displacement discontinuity model (DDM) was proposed. The method was applied to investigate the transmission coefficient of P-wave propagation normally through a double-scale discontinuous rock mass with a nonlinear deformational macrojoint. The results were verified by comparison with the results of P-wave propagation normally through a double-scale discontinuous rock mass with a linear deformational macrojoint. The results showed that for a small amplitude stress wave, the nonlinear deformational macrojoint can be simplified as a linear deformational form to study the stress wave propagation, whereas for a large amplitude stress wave, the effects of the nonlinear deformational behavior of the macrojoint must be considered. The difference of the effects of nonlinear and linear deformational macrojoints on large amplitude stress wave propagation can be overlooked in the low-frequency or high-frequency regions. In addition, when the incident stress wave amplitude and initial macrojoint stiffness are sufficiently large, the effects of the nonlinear deformational macrojoint on stress wave propagation can be overlooked, and the effects of microdefects must be considered. The influence degree of microdefects on the stress wave propagation increases with the increase of incident stress wave frequency.
