Integrated identification method of rheological model of sandstone in Sanmenxia bauxite

Based on the uniaxial compression creep experiments conducted on bauxite sandstone obtained from Sanmenxia, typical creep experiment curves were obtained. From the characteristics of strain component of creep curves, the creep strain is composed of instantaneous elastic strain, ɛme, instantaneous plastic strain, ɛmp, viscoelastic strain, ɛce, and viscoplastic strain, ɛcp. Based on the characteristics of instantaneous plastic strain, a new element of instantaneous plastic rheology was introduced, instantaneous plastic modulus was defined, and the modified Burgers model was established. Then identification of direct screening method in this model was completed. According to the mechanical properties of rheological elements, one- and three-dimensional creep equations in different stress levels were obtained. One-dimensional model parameters were identified by the method of least squares, and in the process of computation, Gauss-Newton iteration method was applied. Finally, by fitting the experimental curves, the correctness of direct method model was verified, then the examination of posterior exclusive method of the model was accomplished. The results showed that in the improved Burgers models, the rheological characteristics of sandstone are embodied properly, microscopic analysis of creep curves is also achieved, and the correctness of comprehensive identification method of rheological model is verified.
