Cyclic pore pressure is closely related to the stability and safety of
deep underground engineering. A micro-macro mechanical model of creep
fracture under cyclic pore pressure, external confining pressure, and
axial stress was established to reveal the mechanism of cyclic pore
pressure of brittle rock. The model combines the improved microcrack
model, the function of cyclic pore pressure, the subcritical crack law,
the Hooke-Kelvin model, and the crack-strain model. The complete
elastic, viscoelastic and plastic deformation of rock is described. The
model solution before crack extension determines the elastic and
viscoelastic deformation, and that of after crack extension determines
the plastic deformation. Time-dependent elastic modulus evolution of
rock under cyclic pore pressure is obtained, which affects viscoelastic
strain under cyclic pore pressure. The effects of cyclic pore pressure
parameters ΔP and ΔP and cycle period on rock viscoelastic
rebound value and creep fracture time are discussed. Rationality of the
proposed model is verified by experimental data. The analytical results
provide help for evaluation in safety and stability of rock engineering.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
