Title: Constitutive model of creep in polycrystalline halite based on workhardening and recovery

Conference ·
OSTI ID:10168825

A multimechanism constitutive model of creep has been developed which incorporates the workhardening and recovery transient creep behavior. This model has been applied to the creep of polycrystalline halite. The specific application of the model is in the calculation of the closure of underground rooms in layered salt deposits. Through the use of finite element calculations, this model, with appropriate laboratory material parameters and a Tresca flow potential, has predicted the measured closure of a number of large in situ experimental rooms.
