These materials show the dilation characteristics at lower confining pressures and the brittle-ductile transition. We present a non-associated plasticity theory using a dilatancy function for plastic behaviour under monotone loading, and an extended multi-response theory to elasto-plastic behaviour under "weakly" cyclic loading. In these approaches, we treat only the strain hardening response of geomaterials as the material behaviour and do not apply them to the strain-softening response since the softening is a structural phenomenon rather than a material characteristic. We present the response functions by a Laplace trasformation. The response models are applied to simulate the behaviours of Oya-tuff under monotone loading with non-linear plastic response, and the behaviours of Funyu-tuff and granite under cyclic loading with non-linear elastic and plastic responses, respectively. We also describe a procedure for conventional triaxial tests of rock materials by a stiff testing machine, a closed measurement-analysis-system for a laboratory test performed by a microcomputer and a data banking system of rock triaxial tests.}, pages = {273--326}, title = {Deformation and failure of rocks under "weak" cyclic loading and incremental elasto-plasticity theory}, volume = {40}, year = {1989} }
