Materials (Basel). 2022 Oct 28;15(21):7590. doi: 10.3390/ma15217590.

Abstract

In order to accurately describe the characteristics of each stage of rock creep behavior under the combined action of acid environment and true triaxial stress, based on damage mechanics, chemical damage is connected with elastic modulus; thus, the damage relations considering creep stress damage and chemical damage are obtained. The elastic body, nonlinear Kelvin body, linear Kelvin body, and viscoelastic-plastic body (Mogi-Coulomb) are connected in series, and the actual situation under the action of true triaxial stress is considered at the same time. Therefore, a damage creep constitutive model considering the coupling of rock acid corrosion and true triaxial stress is established. The parameters of the deduced model are identified and verified with the existing experimental research results. The yield surface equation of rock under true triaxial stress is obtained by data fitting, and the influence of intermediate principal stress on the creep model is discussed. The derived constitutive model can accurately describe the characteristics of each stage of true triaxial creep behavior of rock under acid environment.

Keywords: chemical corrosion; intermediate principal stress; nonlinearity; rock creep constitutive; true triaxial stress.
