This paper presents a novel variational phase-field model for different fracture processes in
fully saturated porous media. As a key feature, the model employs a micromechanics-based …

We present a continuum framework to simulate fluid flow through anisotropic elastoplastic
media with double porosity. Two effective stress measures σ′ and σ′′ emerge from the …

Failure in brittle rock happens because micro-cracks in the crystal structure coalesce and
form a localized fracture. The propagation of the fracture is in turn strongly influenced by …

Semi‐brittle flow occurs when crystal plasticity and cataclastic mechanisms operate
concurrently and may be common at mid‐levels of the Earth's crust. Using a Paterson gas …

The disturbance wave caused by excavation or blasting of underground surrounding rock
causes fatigue degradation effect of rock and eventually leads to disasters. However, the …

This paper presents the state of the art of the theory of rock damage and healing mechanics,
with a particular emphasis on the strategies available to relate the micro-scale of crystals …

The reliable prediction of excavation responses for squeezing rock remains a challenging
issue in rock engineering. This paper presents a numerical procedure for a strain-softening …

A multi-scale model is developed for modeling of plastic deformation and induced damage
in rock-like materials containing pores and mineral inclusions. An analytical macroscopic …

The frequent far-field microdynamic disturbance caused by excavation of high-stress deep
underground engineering will induce the continuous damage deterioration of surrounding …

A better understanding of the stress–strain behaviors of shale samples after shale-CO 2 or
shale-water–CO 2 interactions is of great importance to CO 2 enhanced shale gas …
