Abstract
Discontinuous numerical methods have been widely applied to investigate rock deformation and failure behavior in rock engineering scenarios such as tunnel excavation and oil/gas exploitation. Compared to discontinuous numerical methods with explicit formulations, discontinuous deformation analysis (DDA) has the advantages of unconditional stability and strict contact convergence with its implicit formulation. However, it lacks proper implementation of specific models for mechanical analysis of layered rocks. To solve this problem, DDA is extended with transversely isotropic constitutive models. With the sub-block and artificial joints (bond) strategy, a transversely isotropic constitutive model is incorporated by solving the global motion equation in a local coordinate system. The strength anisotropy caused by the rock matrix and discontinuities is considered by adding the transversely isotropic failure criteria characterized by the sub-block stress state. The feasibility of modeling elastic and strength behavior is validated by conducting a series of numerical uniaxial compression and direct tensile tests. The proposed approach is further applied to investigate the mechanical response and fracturing characteristics under both quasi-static and dynamic loading conditions, and its accuracy is verified by comparing the experimental results in the uniaxial compression (UC) tests and split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) tests.
