A new integrated model of confinement-sensitive damage and bi-mechanism plasticity for rock-like materials

An integrated constitutive model has been developed for rock-like materials, incorporating confinement-sensitive damage and bi-mechanism plasticity. The model aims to improve the capability of the conventional damage model in depicting the strengthening and brittle-to-ductile transitions that occur under both active and passive confinement conditions. A thermodynamic analysis of energy transformation and dissipation, considering both damage and plasticity, underpins the model's development. The model, rooted in damage-plastic theory, has been divided into two sub-models: (1) Confinement-Sensitive Model: This sub-model addresses the strengthening and ductility enhancements due to active confinement stress. It effectively captures the mechanical responses of rock-like materials under various levels of active confining stresses. (2) Endochronic Dilatancy Model: Based on endochronic theory, a separate dilatancy strain model is proposed, which effectively facilitates the interplay between lateral dilatancy and the growth of passive confining stress. Both sub-models, as well as the integrated model, have undergone validation using experimental data, including uniaxial tests, cyclic loading tests, actively confined tests, and passively confined tests of rock-like materials. These validations confirm the model's accuracy and reliability in predicting the mechanical behavior of rock-like materials under complex loading conditions.
