Analytical and numerical solutions for shear mechanical behaviors of structural plane

Abstract

The original descriptive model of shear stress and shear displacement only reflects the stress deformation characteristics of plastic structural plane. The index model was revised and piecewise index model was built to describe the stress deformation characteristics of plastic structural plane and brittle structural plane. The relation of stress and strain to the failure mode of structural plane considering the effect of its shape was investigated, and a model which could reflect the relation between undulate angle and shear strength was built. The result indicates that structural plane presents nonlinear characteristics, specifically, the value of undulate angle, as well as corresponding shear strength, becomes larger as the normal stress decreases.
