Based on the statistical damage theory and the experimental phenomena, the statistical damage constitutive model for concrete under biaxial tension is proposed. The two meso-scale damage modes, rupture and yield are considered, and the whole damage evolution process is driven by the principal tensile damage strain. The results show that the proposed statistical damage model can accurately predict the constitutive behavior in the uniform damage phase for concrete under biaxial tension. The damage mechanism is discussed in the view point of biaxial strength and deformation properties.

This paper presents a new statistical damage constitutive model using symmetric normal distribution. The broken rock microbody obeyed symmetric normal distribution and the equivalent strain principle in damage mechanics. The uniaxial compression tests of samples subjected to dry-wet cycles were performed. The damage model was established using the equivalent strain principle and symmetric normal distribution. The damage variable was defined by the elastic modulus under various dry-wet cycles. Parameters of the damage constitutive model were identified using MATLAB software, and the proposed model is verified to be in good agreement with uniaxial compression test results. Fracturing of the rock microbody is well described by symmetric normal distribution, and the proposed statistical damage constitutive model has good adaptability to the uniaxial compression stress-strain curve.

In the current paper, the deformation behaviours of rocks during compression are studied by testing 10 groups of sandstone samples with different porosity characteristics. According to the energy theory, the rock material was divided into two parts: solid skeleton and voids. A statistical damage-based approach was adopted to establish a nonlinear statistical damage constitutive model. The validity of the statistical damage constitutive model is verified by the test data. The statistical damage constitutive model performs well in each stage of rock compression before failure. For different types of rocks, different confining pressures, and different water contents, the statistical damage constitutive model fits well. This model can be applied to most types of rocks and in most engineering environments.

The whole shear deformation of rock joints significantly affects the long-term behavior and safety of engineering projects. In this paper, a new damage constitutive model related to the Weibull distribution and statistical damage theory is proposed. This model considers the shear stiffness degradation, post-peak softening, and residual phase of rock joints in the whole shearing process. Main works include the three following aspects: First, the phase of initial damage is determined on the assumption that the joint shear failure is regarded as a result of damage evolution, according to the typical joint shear curve and the three-parameter Weibull distribution. Then, a statistical damage evolution model for the whole joint shearing process is introduced to make this model be capable of describing the residual phase of rock joints. Finally, a statistical constitutive model for the whole joint shearing process is proposed by statistical damage theory, and the calculated results of the models are compared to the experimental results. The results indicate that the proposed model shows a good agreement with the experimental examples, and the proposed model can distinctly reflect the effects of residual stress, peak stress, and shear stiffness. In addition, the model parameters can be mathematically confirmed and have distinct physical meanings.

By analysis of the microscopic damage mechanism of rock, a multiparameter elastoplastic damage constitutive model which considers damage mechanism of tension and shear is established. A revised general form of elastoplastic damage model containing damage internal variable of tensor form is derived by considering the hypothesis that damage strain is induced by the degeneration of elastic modulus. With decomposition of plastic strain introduced, the forms of tension damage variable and shear damage variable are derived, based on which effects of tension and shear damage on material’s stiffness and strength are considered simultaneously. Through the utilizing of Zienkiewicz-Pande criterion with tension limit, the specific form of the multiparameter damage model is derived. Numerical experiments show that the established model can simulate damage behavior of rock effectively.

Based on continuum damage mechanics and the assumption of volume invariance, a damage constitutive model of cemented sand under triaxial stress was established while considering residual strength. Statistical theory was then introduced into this model. Assuming that the microunit strength of cemented sand obeys a Weibull random distribution, an expression of microunit strength based on the Mohr–Coulomb criterion was derived. Additionally, a damage evolution equation and a statistical damage constitutive model of cemented sand under triaxial stress were established. In order to consider the nonlinear deformation and volume change in the initial pore compaction stage, the critical point reflecting the completion of the initial compaction stage was determined. This was done by applying the volume invariance assumption to the linear portion of the stress and strain curve and performing a coordinate transformation. The nonlinearity of the initial compaction stage was fitted by a quadratic function. A triaxial compression test of cemented sand was then carried out to verify this proposed method. The results show that the calculated values by the damage constitutive model fit well with the actual experimental values and that the calculated results can reflect the stress softening, residual strength, and initial compaction characteristics of cemented sand, which shows the rationality and feasibility of the model.
