Abstract

<p class="ABSTRACT">A theoretical model for porous viscoelastoplastic (VEP) materials under dry conditions is examined based on the principles of mass and energy conservation using rheological-dynamical analogy (RDA). The model provides the expressions for the creep coefficient, Poisson's ratio, modulus of elasticity, damage variable and strength in the function of porosity and/or void volume fraction (VVF). Compared with numerous versions of acoustic emission monitoring developed to analyze the behavior of the total wave propagation in inhomogeneous media with density variation, the RDA model is found to be comprehensive in interpretation and consistent with physical understanding. The reliability of the proposed model is confirmed by the comparison of numerical results with experimental ones on hardened concrete and rocks.</p>
