A comprehensive study of the mechanical properties of rock-like materials for inelastic deformation model establishment by TRIMONOVA Mariia, STEFANOV Yuri, DUBINYA Nikita, BAKEEV Rustam

“…Conclusion  Taking the plastic behavior of the material into account is necessary when moving on to modeling the hydraulic fracturing process in such a material, and the resultant plasticity parameters for the model material can be used for numerical modeling of elastoplastic deformation of the rock under consideration, including processes such as hydraulic fracture growth in a poroelastoplastic medium. [ Significance ] The suggested procedure to interpret results of experimental studies can be used for further numerical modeling of mechanical processes in rock masses with inelastic strain accumulation. …”
