A Strain Hardening and Softening Constitutive Model for Hard Brittle Rocks

To study the strain hardening and softening mechanism for hard brittle rocks, a strain hardening and softening constitutive model for hard brittle rocks is developed. First, the normalised hardening and softening factors are defined, which characterise the yield state of rock at the stages of pre-pe...
