International audienceThis paper presents a new constitutive model for the description of elastoplastic behaviour of a porous rock. In the first section, a brief summary of the experimental investigations is presented. The data obtained show that an important coupling exists between elastic and plastic deformation, and that the confining pressure has a great influence on the yielding process of the rock. In the second section, firstly, a plastic internal variable is defined, which is able to record the influence of the stress state on the progressive yielding process. Then, based on the plastic internal variable, the respective evolutions of the subsequent yield surface, dilatancy angle and elastic parameters are studied, and the applicability of the generalized orthogonal flow rule which connects the irreversible strain increment and the yield function are analyzed. The results show that the generalized orthogonal flow rule is not suitable for the porous rock during plastic deformation. Then, based on the experimental evidence, a general formulation of the model is presented. In the third section, simulations of the conventional triaxial compression tests are performed, and the results show that the proposed model is indeed capable of capturing the main features of the mechanical behaviour of the rock. Finally, the model is extended to simulate unloading confining pressure tests, and for which it gives reasonable results

The deformation and damage characteristics of surrounding rock grow gradually with the increase of mining depth, and the mechanical behavior and damage mechanism of coal–rock materials vary greatly. In order to reveal the deformation and damage dynamic characteristics of coal–rock materials in deep mines, the macroscopic deformation characteristics of coal, rock, and concrete samples under uniaxial compression were studied. The macroscopic deformation amount, velocity, and acceleration of different samples were analyzed. The coal and rock samples exhibit regular dynamic characteristics before they lose stability and fail. The axial strain response of the coal samples changes significantly during the compact and elastic deformation stages. Besides, the relationship between the surface damage and the macroscopic deformation of sample was studied by means of visualization and image processing. The macroscopic deformation index of coal–rock materials changes significantly before and after the destabilization and failure. Based on the deformation and failure dynamic characteristics of coal and rock, the evolution rule of deformation critical values was taken as the deformation and destruction stages, which revealed the dynamic characteristics during the deformation and failure process of coal–rock materials in deep mines. The deformation critical values can be used to realize early warning of deformation and fracture of coal and rock materials in deep mines.
