Abstract
The purpose of this study is to establish an elastic–plastic damage constitutive model of shale and simulate the elastic–plastic damage characteristics of shale under stress. Based on the unified strength theory and the mechanics of shale rock samples characterized in laboratory tests, a new elastic–plastic damage constitutive model for shale is established by introducing compression factors and damage variables. The main considerations include the compressibility of primary fractures and pores in the shale core, and the formation of secondary cracks in the rock matrix under stress. A fully implicit backward Euler regression mapping algorithm has been used to solve the model, and the numerical simulation results are in good agreement with the experimental results. The results show that the model established in this paper can accurately simulate the elastic–plastic damage characteristics of shale under stress, and that it provides a new numerical simulation method for describing the elastic–plastic damage in shale.
