Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of numerical simulation technology in rock mechanics, and more specifically, to a method for calibrating parameters of a constitutive model of a bonded element. Background Technology
[0002] In rock fracture simulation, bonded elements are often inserted into adjacent solid elements, and the fracture of these bonded elements is used to simulate crack initiation and propagation. However, existing constitutive models of bonded elements have the following problems: 1. Complex parameter calibration: The five parameters of the bonded element (cohesion, internal friction angle, tensile strength, Type I fracture energy, and Type II fracture energy) all require tedious calibration and cannot be directly obtained from experimental values, making the calibration of the constitutive model of the bonded element cumbersome; 2. Unclear physical meaning: The fracture energy parameters of the bonded element lack clear physical meaning and have a weak correlation with macroscopic mechanical behavior, resulting in low calibration efficiency; 3. Low computational efficiency: The constitutive model of the bonded element uses a nonlinear peak-end curve, resulting in high computational complexity and limiting its engineering applications.
[0003] Therefore, a method for calibrating the parameters of the constitutive model of the bonded element with low calibration difficulty and high computational efficiency is needed. Summary of the Invention

[0035] The beneficial effects of this application are as follows: The method for calibrating the constitutive model parameters of the bonded element provided in this application replaces the nonlinear constitutive curve of the bonded element with linear pre-peak and post-peak segment curves. It uses the post-peak tensile strain ratio and post-peak shear strain ratio to correlate the post-peak displacement with the pre-peak displacement. Through Brazilian splitting tests, uniaxial compression tests, and triaxial compression tests, it obtains the cohesion, internal friction angle, and tensile strength data of the bonded element. It then adjusts the values of the post-peak tensile strain ratio and post-peak shear strain ratio to ensure that the peak strength obtained from the constitutive model of the bonded element is consistent with the data from the Brazilian splitting test, uniaxial compression test, and triaxial compression test. Repeating the above steps yields the optimal values of the post-peak tensile strain ratio and post-peak shear strain ratio. The method for calibrating the constitutive model parameters of the bonded element provided in this application only requires calibrating two parameters: the post-peak tensile strain ratio and the post-peak shear strain ratio. This greatly reduces the workload and difficulty of calibration, effectively improves computational efficiency, and facilitates users in adjusting parameter values based on the macroscopic mechanical behavior of numerical samples.
