Experiment and Numerical Simulation on Creep Mechanical Behaviors of Mudstone under Unloading Condition by Xudong Feng

“…When the axial stress is higher than the yield strength of the rock mass, the rock mass enters the tertiary creep stage (which is characterized by large deformation and instability failure in a short period of time). An improved nonlinear viscoelastic-plastic rock creep model, which can simulate three creep stages, is established (well verified). …”
