| Abstract: |
The aim of this work is to determine an effective yield criteria for porous pressure sensitive solids by employing a virtual testing strategy. The focus is on the pressure sensitivity typically displayed by geomaterials, such as sandstone. Virtual testing strategy is based on computational homogenisation approach following a unified variational formulation, which provides bounds on the effective material properties for a given choice of the Representative Volume Element (RVE). In order to estimate the effective properties of porous solid, the constitutive behaviour of continuum matrix is assumed to follow the standard Drucker–Prager elasto-plastic model. The computationally generated effective yield criteria for porous solids are obtained for various RVE choices and compared against the recently proposed analytical estimates for Drucker–Prager type solids and the SR4 constitutive model for soft rocks. The developed virtual testing strategy is applied to estimate the effective properties of a realistic rock sample, thus illustrating a wide range of potential applications. |
