Abstract

A damage constitutive model of dry/water-saturated granite is proposed within the framework of continuum mechanics and mixture theory, and the model allows for the simulation of the effects of micro-cracks, micro-pores and saturated water. By implementing the model into wave propagation code, one dimensional stain waves in dry granite induced by a rectangular impulsive loading and spherical waves in water-saturated granite due to underground explosion are studied. The simulation results demonstrate the main features of the model, and it is shown that the theoretical model developed is valid for study on the characteristics of stress waves in rock medium.
