Uniaxial compression creep tests have been performed on a kind of rock salt similar material and laminated salt rock similar material on the base of salt rock gas-storage in Jintan. The creep tests show that the rheological property of the similar material is basically the same with the original rock. Under the uniaxial compression, the deformation gradually approaches to be constant after the early short stage of creep attenuation. The similar material shows stress-dependent behavior obviously under different stress stage, the greater the load the higher the creep ratio and creep deformation. A creep constitutive equation which is suitable to rock salt is used to the similar material, and it fits with the obtained creep data very well. The results show that the similar material developed in this passage has the same creep property as the original salt rock,and this material can be used to simulated the deformation and failure of underground gas storage constructed in bedded salt deposits.

Damage Constitutive Model

To study the creep property of salt rock, uniaxial compression creep tests on salt rock specimens were carried out. The test results indicate that there is no steady creep of the salt rock used in this test in a strict sense. Even in the steady creep stage, the creep rate of salt rock changes continuously over time, but with a relatively smaller change range. When the axial stress does not exceed 9.5 MPa, the isochronous stress–strain curve of salt rock is approximately straight. While the axial stress exceeds 9.5 MPa, the isochronous stress–strain curve deflects to the strain axis, and the larger the axial stress, the more obvious the deflection. Thus, the long-term strength of the salt rock used in this test can be determined as 9.5 MPa. A mathematical expression for predicting the creep failure time of rock is proposed on the basis of assuming the change rule of rock strength over time conforms to the Usher function. Then starting from the variation in deformation modulus with respect to time in the creep process of salt rock, the elastic modulus of the damaged rock material is characterized by the deformation modulus, and the creep damage evolution equation of rock is established. Combined with the continuous damage mechanics theory, a new creep damage constitutive model for rock is proposed. The rationality of the model is verified using the uniaxial compression creep test results of salt rock. The results show that the new model can not only describe the attenuation and the steady creep of salt rock under low stress level, but also reflect the whole creep failure process under high stress level. The predicted curves under different axial stresses are all in good agreement with the test data.

To study the effect of loading rate on the mechanical properties of salt rock, uniaxial compression tests and acoustic emission tests at different loading rates were carried out on salt rock specimens. The test results show that with increases in loading rate, the peak stress of salt rock increases first and then essentially remains unchanged, and the elastic modulus increases gradually, while the strain at peak stress decreases gradually. Moreover, the Poisson’s ratio is independent of loading rate. The macroscopic failure modes of the salt rock specimens at different loading rates are all ‘X’-type conjugate shear failure. However, the loading rate is closely related to the degree of fracture, such that the smaller the loading rate is, the higher is the degree of fracture of salt rock. In order to describe the stress–strain behaviour in the process of salt rock failure, a damage variable expression represented by the deformation modulus was proposed, and a rock damage constitutive model was established according to the theory of continuum damage mechanics. The rationality of the damage constitutive model was verified by using the present uniaxial compression test results of salt rock and existing test data from the literature. The results show that the model can accurately describe the stress–strain response of rock in the failure process.

We study through molecular dynamics finite element method with Stillinger-Weber potential the uniaxial compression of (0, 24) armchair and (31, 0) zigzag black phosphorene nanotubes with approximately equal diameters. Young's modulus, critical stress and critical strain are estimated with various tube lengths. It is found that under uniaxial compression the (0, 24) armchair black phosphorene nanotube buckles, whereas the failure of the (31, 0) zigzag one is caused by local bond breaking near the boundary.
