Abstract
The parameters calibration of the original fracture constitutive model for the joint element in the finite-discrete element method (FDEM) is very complex. To simplify the parameter calibration procedure, we firstly propose a linear fracture constitutive model for the two-dimensional finite-discrete element method (FDEM). Based on the simplified constitutive model for the joint element, the proposed calibration procedure only involves adjusting two parameters (ro and rs), which represent the post-peak strain to pre-peak strain ratio and have a clear physical meaning. Other rock mechanical parameters can directly take from the experimental values. Then, the correctness of the proposed fracture constitutive model is verified by a series of rock numerical tests. Finally, the calibration procedure of the input parameters for the Jinping Baishan Group marble is provided by using the linear fracture constitutive model. The proposed constitutive model can significantly simplify the parameter calibration process and improve the computational efficiency, which enables FDEM better applied to practical engineering.
