Title: On the strength of transversely isotropic rocks: On the strength of transversely isotropic rocks

Abstract

Accurate prediction of strength in rocks with distinct bedding planes requires knowledge of the bedding plane orientation relative to the load direction. Thermal softening adds complexity to the problem since it is known to have significant influence on the strength and strain localization properties of rocks. In this paper, we utilize a recently proposed thermoplastic constitutive model appropriate for rocks exhibiting transverse isotropy in both the elastic and plastic responses to predict their strength and strain localization properties. Recognizing that laboratory-derived strengths can be influenced by material and geometric inhomogeneities of the rock samples, we consider both stress-point and boundary-value problem simulations of rock strength behavior. Both plane strain and 3D loading conditions are considered. Results of the simulations of the strength of a natural Tournemire shale and a synthetic transversely isotropic rock suggest that the mechanical model can reproduce the general U-shaped variation of rock strength with bedding plane orientation quite well. We show that this variation could depend on many factors, including the stress loading condition (plane strain versus 3D), degree of anisotropy, temperature, shear-induced dilation versus shear-induced compaction, specimen imperfections, and boundary restraints, among others.

Thermoplasticity and strain localization in transversely isotropic materials based on anisotropic critical state plasticity

Journal Article Semnani, Shabnam J. ; White, Joshua A. ; Borja, Ronaldo I. - International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics

Geomaterials including soils and rocks are inherently anisotropic and sensitive to temperature changes caused by various internal and external processes. They are also susceptible to strain localization in the form of shear bands when subjected to critical loads. In this paper, we present a thermo-plastic framework for modeling coupled thermo-mechanical response and for predicting the inception of a shear band in a transversely isotropic material using the general framework of critical state plasticity and the specific framework of an anisotropic modified Cam-Clay model. The formulation incorporates anisotropy in both elastic and plastic responses under the assumption of infinitesimal deformation. Themore »« less

Pore-scale modeling of deformation and shear band bifurcation in porous crystalline rocks: Pore-scale modeling of deformation and shear band bifurcation in porous crystalline rocks

Journal Article Tjioe, Martin ; Borja, Ronaldo I. - International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering

We develop here a computational framework that captures the microfracture processes leading to shear band bifurcation in porous crystalline rocks. The framework consists of computational homogenization on a representative elementary volume (REV) that upscales the pore-scale microfracture processes to the continuum scale. The assumed enhanced strain (AES) finite element approach is used to capture the discontinuous displacement field generated by the microfractures. Homogenization at the continuum scale results in incrementally nonlinear material response, in which the overall constitutive tangent tensor varies with the stress state as well as with the loading direction. Continuum bifurcation detects the formation of a shearmore »« less

Cam-Clay plasticity. Part IX: On the anisotropy, heterogeneity, and viscoplasticity of shale

Journal Article Borja, Ronaldo I. ; Yin, Qing ; Zhao, Yang - Computer Methods in Applied Mechanics and Engineering

Here, we investigate three aspects of material behavior in this ninth installment of the Cam-Clay series, namely, anisotropy, heterogeneity, and viscoplasticity. The main focus of the paper is creep in shale and how this time-dependent deformation behavior may be quantified across the scales, from nanometers to millimeters. Recognizing the highly heterogeneous nature of shale, we adopt a simplified representation of this material as a mixture of softer matter representing organics and clay, and harder matter representing the inorganic rock matrix. Due to the presence of bedding planes in the rock matrix, anisotropy in both the elastic and inelastic responses ismore »« less

On the pore-scale mechanisms leading to brittle and ductile deformation behavior of crystalline rocks

Journal Article Tjioe, Martin ; Borja, Ronaldo I. - International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics

Deformation mechanisms found at the pore scale are responsible for producing large strains in porous rocks. Furthermore, they include cataclastic flow, dislocation creep, dynamic recrystallization, diffusive mass transfer, and grain boundary sliding, among others. Here, we focus on two dominant pore-scale mechanisms resulting from purely mechanical, isothermal loading: crystal plasticity and micro-fracturing. We examine the contributions of each mechanism to the overall behavior at a scale larger than the grains but smaller than the specimen, which is commonly referred to as the mesoscale. Crystal plasticity is assumed to occur as dislocations along the many crystallographic slip planes, whereas micro-fracturing entailsmore »« less

On the preferential flow patterns induced by transverse isotropy and non-Darcy flow in double porosity media

Journal Article Zhang, Qi ; Choo, Jinhyun ; Borja, Ronaldo I. - Computer Methods in Applied Mechanics and Engineering

Fluid flow in isotropic porous media with one porosity scale is a well understood process and a common scenario in numerous simulations published in the literature. Yet, there exists a class of porous materials that exhibit two porosity scales with strong permeability contrast between the two scales. Examples of such materials are aggregated soils and fractured sedimentary rocks such as shale. In sedimentary rocks, fluid could flow through the micro-fractures at the larger scale as well as through the nanometer-size pores of the rock matrix at the smaller scale. In this paper, we shall refer to the larger and smallermore »« less
