Nonlinear Viscoelastic-Plastic Creep Model of Rock Based on Fractional Calculus by Erjian Wei, Bin Hu, Jing Li, Kai Cui, Zhen Zhang, Aneng Cui, Liyao Ma

“…Based on fractional calculus theory, this paper explores the creep curve characteristics of the creep elements with the fractional order change, constructs a nonlinear viscoelastic-plastic creep model of rock based on fractional calculus, and deduces the creep constitutive equation. By using a user-defined function fitting tool of the Origin software and the Levenberg–Marquardt optimization algorithm, the creep test data are fitted and compared. …”
