- 摘要：A series of triaxial compression tests with permeability measurements was carried out under different confining pressure and pore pressure difference coupling conditions to investigate some mechanical properties and permeability evolution with damage of sandstone. It is found that the shapes of stress-strain curves, permeability evolution curves, and failure patterns are significantly affected by the confining pressure but are only slightly affected by the pore pressure difference. In addition, the corresponding numerical simulations of the experiments were then implemented based on the two-dimensional Realistic Failure Process Analysis-Flow (RFPA(2D)-Flow) code. In this simulator, the heterogeneity of rock is considered by assuming the material properties of the mesoscopic elements conform to a Weibull distribution and a statistical damage constitutive model based on elastic damage mechanics and the flow-stress-damage (FSD) coupling model. The numerical simulations reproduced the failure processes and failure patterns in detail, and the numerical results about permeability-strain qualitatively agree with the experimental results by assigning different parameters in the FSD model. Finally, the experimental results about relationship between permeability evolution and volumetric strain are discussed.
