چکیده انگلیسی
A grain-based model has been developed to simulate both the time-independent and -dependent damage evolution leading to ultimate failure. The mechanical behaviors of the Coconino sandstone during uniaxial compression, Brazilian splitting and fracture toughness tests were simulated. Simulation results are in satisfying agreement with the lab results. Mode-I, Mode-II and mixed mode subcritical crack growth mechanisms considering randomly distributed initial microcracks have been used in the calibrated time-independent model. One-edged time-dependent crack growth in the sandstone specimen due to stress corrosion has been analyzed both theoretically and numerically. It reveals that the lifetime of the specimen decreases nonlinearly with increasing length of the initial microcracks and the applied tensile load. In order to validate the developed numerical simulation scheme, a series of simulations only considering the influence of stress were conducted for a landscape arch which was assumed to be composed by the intact sandstone. The safety factor and the final failure pattern of the arch (time-independent) were determined using the strength reduction method. In parallel, the failure process of the arch due to stress corrosion (time-dependent) was studied in detail. Both approaches revealed similar final failure patterns. The proposed modeling scheme not only exhibits macroscopic mechanical response of the sandstone, but also provides deeper insight into the microscopic damage process, and allows time-related prediction of damage evolution.
