Abstract

Rock salt can undergo large inelastic deformations over extended periods of time. Many analyses, however, refer to time intervals and mechanical loads that cause deformations for which the small-strain assumption remains valid. Here, we restrict ourselves to such small-strain settings and postpone analyses under finite deformations to a follow-up contribution (compare also Fig. 2.1).
