On a three dimensional micromechanical damage model and its application to brittle rocks

Abstract

 

A general 3-D micromechanical damage model, based on a frictional sliding crack mechanism, is formulated in rate form. First we summarize the main physical and theoretical aspects of the model. Then we present an application on a French sandstone. It is concluded that the model describes the salient features of anisotropic damage of brittle materials : load-induced anisotropy, positive dilatancy, hysteresis loops, non negligible permanent strains, damage deactivation due to microcracks closure.
