Widespread influence of fluids on rock strength and
deformation characteristics from grain-scale to
lithospheric-scale has led to a necessity of
understanding the hydro-mechanical coupling in
strength, deformation, and fracturing behaviors of
rock materials.
This book provides experimental and numerical
approaches for investigating the effects of
hydro-mechanical coupling on shear-induced rock
fractures using Punch Through Shear experiments and
2D hydro-mechanical coupled bonded particle model
simulations.
Especially,this book presents how the conventional 2D
bonded particle modeling was modified to handle the
hydro-mechanical coupling processes in rock and also
deals with a new method for microparameter
determination for bonded particle model generation.
Therefore, this book should be helpful to anyone who
may be considering using the bonded particle model in
simulations of rock fracturing in geotechncal problems.
