A Nonlinear Statistical Damage Constitutive Model for Porous Rocks

الملخص EN

In the current paper, the deformation behaviours of rocks during compression are studied by testing 10 groups of sandstone samples with different porosity characteristics.

According to the energy theory, the rock material was divided into two parts: solid skeleton and voids.

A statistical damage-based approach was adopted to establish a nonlinear statistical damage constitutive model.

The validity of the statistical damage constitutive model is verified by the test data.

The statistical damage constitutive model performs well in each stage of rock compression before failure.

For different types of rocks, different confining pressures, and different water contents, the statistical damage constitutive model fits well.

This model can be applied to most types of rocks and in most engineering environments.
