On the search of a potential displacement surface with the use of the local variation method

Abstract

The purpose of the article is to develop some basic conceptual provisions, algorithm and method of the search of the surface of the smallest resistance to shift, based on the minimization of durability functionality. The algorithm uses the approach, based on the direct iteration of various trial displacement surfaces and the selection of the surface with the minimum functionality value from these surfaces with the method of local variations. The coefficients allowing to estimate the possibility of rocks destruction at various sites of this surface are offered. The results of the search of a potential destruction surface for a pit board are given as an example.
