The principle of energy conservation provides a clear physical interpretation of the configurational stress tensor, revealing that its components represent the change in total energy induced by material element translation. The Mohr–Coulomb yield function is employed to define the boundary of crack-tip plastic zone. A novel configurational stress-based Mohr–Coulomb yield function is proposed, enhancing the accuracy of plastic zone size and shape assessment. Additionally, a fracture criterion is developed based on the local properties of the crack-tip plastic zone, and then the time factor of Burgers body is incorporated to elucidate the rheological fracture properties of rock. Utilizing this fracture criterion, the impacts of drying–wetting cycles, heating–cooling cycles, thermal treatment and chemical corrosion on rock fracture are investigated. The proposed fracture criterion accurately predicts crack initiation angles and fracture loads, aligning with predictions of the maximum tensile stress criterion and experiments. It is found that the fracture loads decrease with the number of drying–wetting and heating–cooling cycles. The crack-tip plastic zone is observed to expand over time, leading to a reduction in the fracture loading envelope. Furthermore, the fracture loading envelope generally decreases with increasing thermal treatment temperature, and the mixed-mode fracture resistance is the minimum in acidic environments. This paper provides a valuable reference for addressing the challenges of rock mixed-mode fracture under different environments.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11576,"journal":{"name":"Engineering Fracture Mechanics","volume":"319 ","pages":"Article 110941"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143551725","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Traditional triaxial tests, which neglect the effect of the intermediate principal stress, fail to reveal the failure mechanism of deep hard rocks. Under true triaxial stress, the intermediate principal stress inhibits volumetric deformation and expansion of rocks, resulting in directional failure. However, the fracture characteristics of hard rocks remain qualitative, lacking a mechanistic explanation. Therefore, based on true triaxial compression tests, complemented by acoustic emission and scanning electron microscopy, the directional development mechanism of hard rock fracture under true triaxial conditions is interpreted from both macroscopic and microscopic fracture perspectives. The macroscopic results show that as the intermediate principal stress increases and the minimum principal stress decreases, the macroscopic failure angle increases, the roughness of the rock failure surface decreases, and the fracture plane becomes increasingly perpendicular to the minimum principal stress, leading to the directional development of fractures. Microscopically, the development of microcracks is suppressed by the intermediate principal stress. As the intermediate principal stress increases and the minimum principal stress decreases, microcracks extend more severely in directions parallel to the intermediate principal stress, reducing intergranular fracture and increasing transcrystalline fracture and the proportion of tensile cracks. The differences in macroscopic deformation and microscopic tensile and shear fractures induced by true triaxial stress reveal the mechanism of directional rock fracture.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11576,"journal":{"name":"Engineering Fracture Mechanics","volume":"319 ","pages":"Article 111000"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143578374","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
