A rock creep constitutive model is the core content of rock rheological mechanics theory and is of great significance for studying the long-term stability of engineering. Most of the creep models constructed in previous studies have complex types and many parameters. Based on fractional calculus theory, this paper explores the creep curve characteristics of the creep elements with the fractional order change, constructs a nonlinear viscoelastic-plastic creep model of rock based on fractional calculus, and deduces the creep constitutive equation. By using a user-defined function fitting tool of the Origin software and the Levenberg–Marquardt optimization algorithm, the creep test data are fitted and compared. The fitting curve is in good agreement with the experimental data, which shows the rationality and applicability of the proposed nonlinear viscoelastic-plastic creep model. Through sensitivity analysis of the fractional order β2 and viscoelastic coefficient ξ2, the influence of these creep parameters on rock creep is clarified. The research results show that the nonlinear viscoelastic-plastic creep model of rock based on fractional calculus constructed in this paper can well describe the creep characteristics of rock, and this model has certain theoretical significance and engineering application value for long-term engineering stability research.

Creep is a common important physical phenomenon in rubber material, which induces the instability of geometrical dimension and deteriorates the mechanical performances. The present work develops an optimal design approach of a commercial rubber isolator based on creep analysis. First and foremost, a nonlinear creep constitutive model of rubber material is established, which can capture the hyper-elastic and time-dependent creep behaviors. Complete mechanical and creep tests of rubber materials are conducted, and material parameters are identified according to the experimental data. Then, the parametric finite element model of a rubber isolator is established, with which the time-dependent creep analysis based on the proposed creep constitutive model is conducted. The accuracy of the numerical creep analysis is validated at material level and structural component level. For engineering application, a sensitivity analysis and optimization design for creep-resistance of the rubber isolator is developed by combing finite element simulation and optimization method. The results show that creep-resistance characteristics of the optimal rubber isolator is largely improved, which provides a long-term stable behavior in vibration attenuation. The proposed method may provide an efficient tool for predicting the creep performance and optimal analysis of other commercial rubber-base products.

In order to study the creep behavior of the surrounding rock of Hengda coal mine in Fuxin under different temperatures, the triaxial creep test of sandstone is carried out by the MTS815.02 test system. The relationship between damage variables and temperature is constructed based on the Weibull distribution of the meso-probability voxel intensity. Aiming at the nonlinear characteristics of rock creep, a nonlinear viscous pot element and a nonlinear spring element are proposed. The two linear viscous pot elements and one linear spring element in the Nishihara model can be replaced separately. Thus, an unsteady parameter creep model is established. The comparison between the Nishihara model curve and the model and the experimental curves in this article has been added to the article. Furthermore, the superiority of this model can be proved. The results show that the established variable-time aging creep model not only can describe the rock attenuation creep and stable creep deformation characteristics but also can make up for the shortcomings of the traditional creep model that cannot describe the accelerated creep characteristics. Moreover, it predicts the development law of creep deformation well. The model is in good agreement with the test curve, which shows the correctness and rationality of the model. It has guiding significance for actual engineering support and prediction of long-term deformation of surrounding rock.

Abstract Nowadays one of the principal difficulties that wood structural development and construction have to face is wood creep. Nevertheless, the secret to master and solve the creep deformation of wood relies on a sensible and exact rheological model for numerical analysis. In this research work our goal is to study the nonlinear creep behaviour of the Cameroonian wood species Millettia Laurentii known as Wengé wood through fractional calculus approach. So, we have conducted a nonlinear creep constitutive model of Millettia Laurentii wood, that is the Zener fractional rheological model, and the parameters of this model have been determined. We have studied the influence of stress level σ and fractional order n on the Millettia Laurentii wood creep process by a sensitivity analysis of the model parameters. The outcomes of this sensitivity analysis are of paramount importance because they can be used in reality to inspect the creep process and deformation amount of Millettia Laurentii wood in practical engineering. Moreover, guidance for the secure construction of Millettia Laurentii wood engineering can be given by the means of the findings of this research.
