Abstract:
      In virtue of the great advantages of the Element-Free Method (EFM) in crack propagation tracing, the numerical method is studied for simulating the hydraulic fracturing of rock mass. The influence of damage degree on its permeability coefficient and intensity of rock mass is described by defining a damage variable. Then a stress-seepage-damage coupling analysis model is established for simulating the hydraulic fracturing of rock mass, and the corresponding computation program is developed based on the EFM. Synthetically considering the influence of the interactions of stress, seepage and damage of rock mass, the crack propagation process is forecasted and analyzed for a plane stress model with an original crack. It is concluded that crack propagation angle when considering seepage is bigger than the one when not considering seepage. In addition, it is found that the action of water pressure and seepage in crack can bring forth the effect on propagation direction and length of crack. The calculational result here more approaches the one of laboratory experiment in reference.
