Abstract EN
A coupled elastic-plasticity-damage constitutive model, AK Model, is applied to predict fracture propagation in rocks.
The quasi-brittle material model captures anisotropic effects and the distinct behavior of rocks in tension and compression.
Calibration of the constitutive model is realized using experimental data for Carrara marble.
Through the Weibull distribution function, heterogeneity effect is captured by spatially varying the elastic properties of the rock.
Favorable comparison between model predictions and experiments for single-flawed specimens reveal that the AK Model is reliable and accurate for modelling fracture propagation in rocks.
