Book excerpt: Damage due to micro-cracking and plastic deformation are two main dissipation processes in most rock-like materials. They are related to the evolution of micro-structure and influenced by mineralogical compositions. In this study, we present some new contributions on the micro-mechanical modeling of damage and plastic behavior of rock-like materials based on linear and non-linear homogenization techniques. The first part is devoted to the estimation of macroscopic plastic behavior of a class of quasi-ductile materials, composed of a pressure-dependent plastic solid matrix in which various inclusions and (or) pores are embedded. We propose a new incremental variational model. Unlike most mean-field methods previously developed, the non-uniform local strain field in the solid matrix is taken into account. Moreover, in order to take into account the transition from volumetric compressibility to dilatancy of those materials, a non-associated plastic flow rule is adopted. The incremental variational model is formulated by using a bi-potential theory for the determination of the incremental potential of plastic matrix. The accuracy of the proposed model is assessed by a series of comparisons with reference solutions obtained from full-field finite element simulations. The proposed model is then applied to several rock-like materials with rigid inclusions or pores. In the second part, we focus on the modeling of induced damage in brittle materials which are represented by an elastic solid matrix weakened by randomly distributed microcracks. The emphasis is put on the case of closed cracks under a large range of compressive stress. The damage evolution is due to the initiation and propagation of micro-cracks while the plastic deformation is directly related to the frictional sliding along micro-cracks. The two dissipation processes are physically coupled. A specific friction model is formulated. The efficiency of the proposed model is verified against experimental data on typical granites. Furthermore, the model is extended to study the transition from diffuse damage to localized cracking. The localized cracking is considered as a consequence of coalescence of diffuse micro-cracks. After the onset of a localized crack, the energy dissipation of material is entirely driven by the frictional sliding and propagation of the localized crack. And a specific frictional damage model is developed for the localized crack in consistence with the diffuse damage model. The proposed model is also verified against laboratory tests.
