Energy Dissipation and Damage Evolution Characteristics of Shale under Triaxial Cyclic Loading and Unloading by Ziyun Li, Song Xie, Qianghui Song, Peiyong Wang, Dongyan Liu, Baoyun Zhao, Wei Huang

“…By substituting the test data into the formula, it is found that the calculated results are basically consistent with the test data, and the peak strains and peak stress calculated by the equation are in good agreement with the test data. The findings could provide important theoretical support for the energy dissipation and damage evolution analysis in the failure process of shale under cyclic stress conditions.…”
