Abstract
A multi-scale virtual internal bond (VIB) model for the isotropic materials has been recently proposed to describe the material deformation and fracturing. During the simulation process of material fracturing using VIB, the fracture criterion is directly built into the constitutive formulation of the material using the cohesive force law. Enlightened by the similarity of the damage constitutive model of rock under uniaxial compression and the cohesive force law of VIB, a VIB density function of rock under uniaxial compression is suggested. The elastic modulus tensor is formulated on the basis of the density function. Thus the complete deformation process of rock under the uniaxial compression is simulated.
