Abstract

A model of damage accumulation in a porous medium with a brittle skeleton saturated with a compressible fluid is formulated in the isothermal approximation. The model takes account of the skeleton elastic energy transformation into the surface energy of microcracks. In the case of arbitrary deformations of an anisotropic material, constitutive equations are obtained in a general form that is necessary and sufficient for the objectivity and thermodynamic consistency principles to be satisfied. We also formulate the kinetics equation ensuring that the scattered fracture dissipation is nonnegative for any loading history. For small deviations from the initial state, we propose an elastic potential which permits describing the principal characteristics of the behavior of a saturated porous medium with a brittle skeleton. We study the acoustic properties of the material under study and find their relationship with the strength criterion depending on the accumulated damage and the material current deformation. We consider the problem of scattered fracture of a saturated porous material in a neighborhood of a spherical cavity. We show that the cavity failure occurs if the Hadamard condition is violated.
