This paper provides a mathematical description of hydromechanical coupling associated with propagation of localized damage. The framework incorporates an embedded discontinuity approach and addresses the assessment of both hydraulic and mechanical properties in the region intercepted by a fracture. Within this approach, an internal length scale parameter is explicitly employed in the definition of equivalent permeability as well as the tangential stiffness operators. The effect of the progressive evolution of damage on the hydro-mechanical coupling is examined and an evolution law is derived governing the variation of equivalent permeability with the continuing deformation. The framework is verified by a numerical study involving 3D simulation of an axial splitting test carried out on a saturated sample under displacement and fluid pressure-controlled conditions. The finite element analysis incorporates the Polynomial-Pressure-Projection (PPP) stabilization technique and a fully implicit time integration scheme.

A precise description of the stress and deformation fields in a cracked body is provided using multi-parameter fracture mechanics based on the approximation of the fields by means of the Williams’ power series. This paper presents a detailed analysis of the stress field in a wedge-splitting test geometry specimen aimed at the calculation of coefficients of the higher order terms (up to 14) of the Williams’ expansion. The numerical study is conducted with the use of a conventional finite element package; however, for processing of the results an over-deterministic method is employed. Special attention is paid to the influence of boundary conditions of the test geometry on the values of the coefficients of the higher order terms of the Williams’ series. The results are compared to data from the literature; a strong effect of the boundary conditions is observed.

A dynamic constitutive model of tensile and compressive damage was constructed on the basis of the ZWT and statistical damage models, particularly by introducing the maximum tension and maximum shear stress criteria to solve the failure problem of the surrounding rock mass caused by deep excavation unloading. A shock compression and splitting test of sandstone specimens under different strain rates were performed by using a split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB). The constitutive model was developed again by LS-DYNA for the secondary numerical impact compression and split test of sandstones. Results demonstrated that the constructed dynamic constitutive model of tensile and compressive damage could considerably simulate tensile and compressive stress-strain relations and failure features of sandstones well. Lastly, the constitutive model was applied to conduct a numerical study on damage distribution and failure laws of the surrounding rocks at Gaochou Roadway, Luling Mine under cyclic excavation unloading. Results showed that the unloading failure of surrounding rocks has significant accumulation effects, and the accumulated damage on the floor is larger than those on the roof and roadway walls. The maximum breaking and damage depths are 0.4 m and 5.31 m, respectively. Circumferential damage showed an “umbrella-shaped” distribution pattern. With respect to trend, the damage accumulation effect at the rear part of the excavation face is stronger than that at the front part and the maximum influence distance is 6.4 m. However, the influencing degree of the accumulation effect attenuates gradually as advancing into the excavation face. The reliability of the numerical simulation is verified by combining the test results of the field geological radar on the roadway roof.
