AbstractAs a result of the GeomInt research project (Chap. 1) a broad combined experimental and numerical platform for the investigation of discontinuities due to swelling and shrinking processes (WP1, Sect. 2.3), pressure-driven percolation (WP2, Sect. 2.4) and stress redistribution (WP3, Sect. 2.4) for important reservoir and barrier rocks (clay, salt, crystalline) has been developed. Model comparisons for damage and fracture processes driven by different processes provide information on the optimal areas of application of the numerical methods (Sect. 2.5).

Effective modeling of ice material behavior requires treatment of both damage and fracture. In this paper, a discussion of local ice damage and fracture processes observed during laboratory-scale indentation experiments conducted on unconfined polycrystalline ice using a spherical indenter is provided. Particular emphasis is placed on the interplay between fracture and extrusion processes corresponding to the failure of ice under a single zone of high contact pressure. Simulations have been conducted using a continuum damage mechanics user-material routine in conjunction with element removal techniques to simulate pressure-softening and discrete fracture processes, respectively. Simulation results provide good agreement with test data and provide important insights into interplay between damage and fracture mechanisms associated with compressive ice failure. Finite element modeling was found to work well for modeling pressure softening effects and for replicating the effects of discrete fracture events. For interactions involving multiple failure events, further work is needed to develop models that account for random aspects of fracture associated with flaw structure, contact geometry and the geometry of individual spalls.
