Abstract
Tertiary creep is often observed in soft rocks and it represents a problem in a mining environment. Tertiary creep behaviour appears due to progressive micro cracking of the material and would result in a loss of strength and stiffness, which may eventually lead to failure and a complete loss of load carrying capability of the material. In this paper, the authors combined the continuum damage mechanics within the framework of hyperplasticity, thus encompassing viscoplasticity and damage within a single theory. The authors present a family of models which obeys the laws of thermodynamics. The entire constitutive behaviour is derived from two scalar potentials; a free energy potential which provides the elasticity law, and a dissipation potential which provides the yield function, the direction of plastic flow and the evolution of a damage variable. No additional assumptions are required. These new models require only few parameters which have physical meanings and are capable of capturing tertiary creep observed in soft rocks.
