In the past more than half a century, the constitutive models for geomaterials have been
widely flourished. With the rapid development of economic, engineering infrastructures are …

Frozen soil masses under various geologic conditions are usually in complex stress states
and may carry complex loads with different stress paths. Thus, a comprehensive …

Frozen soil is a kind of composite geotechnical material with significant creep properties. To
develop a creep constitutive model that can consider the composite properties and internal …

In cold regions, the deformation characteristics of frozen soils with different coarse-grained
contents change significantly under the freeze–thaw (FT) cycles. A series of cryogenic …

Temperature serves as a critical yet elusive factor impacting the mechanical properties of
deep rocks. In this work, we shall develop a new micro‐thermomechanical model for rocks …

This paper presents a unified experimental and numerical investigation on the transition
from brittle to ductile behavior in a low-porosity sandstone under drained conditions. The …

Water effects on the mechanical properties of rocks have been extensively investigated
through experiments and numerical models. However, few studies have established a …

The diffuse damage and localized cracking of quasi-brittle materials (ie, rocks and
concretes) under compression can be delineated by a matrix-microcrack system, wherein a …

Rock is geometrically and mechanically multiscale in nature, and the traditional
phenomenological laws at the macroscale cannot render a quantitative relationship …

The stability and durability of rocks in cold regions are significantly impacted by the
degradation of mechanical properties caused by freeze-thaw (FT) environment. In this work …
