An innovative micromechanics-based three-dimensional long-term strength criterion for fracture assessment of rock materials

xiaoping zhou, Xiaocheng Huang, Filippo Berto

Rocks may exhibit time-dependent behaviors. Long-term strength criterion significantly dominates creep failure of rocks. Rocks contain many microcracks, which lead to degrade of long-term strength. In this paper, it is assumed that there…
