 This study investigated the effects of dynamic disturbance on the safety and efficiency of deep mine operations. It found that the strength of the rock was affected by the amount of dynamic disturbance, with higher levels leading to more severe damage. Additionally, the type of damage was also dependent on the initial stress level, with lower stresses causing less damage than higher ones. Finally, the elastic modulus of the rock had an effect on the rate of damage accumulation, with higher moduli leading to slower rates of damage accumulation.
