(Keynote) Introduction: The mechanical (constitutive) models of geomaterials become progressively more sophisticated with the progress in our understanding of rock properties, which reflects the complexity of the behavior of these materials. For example, the experimental results from the test conducted under different loading configurations corresponding to the different Lode angles θ (axisymmetric compression, extension and true 3-D tests; Heard, 1960; Nguyen et al., 2011; Ingraham et al., 2013; Ma and Haimson, 2013) as well as a very recent theoretical analysis of these results (Chemenda and Mas, JMPS, 2016) show that θ strongly affects the inelastic response and failure of geomaterials. The θ-dependence of the rock properties as well as the evolution of the constitute parameters with inelastic deformation (damage) is typically ignored in numerical geomodeling and must be taken into account, notably when dealing with the material failure. It becomes particularly important to conduct a combined experimental and numerical (virtual) modeling complemented by the theoretical analysis and field observations to evaluate the realism of the virtual models. In this paper we present recent findings in the constitutive modeling and report the results from experimental studies and numerical modeling of faulting and fracturing resulting from a constitutive instability. Constitutive framework, experimental, and numerical models A pragmatic approach consists in formulation, based on the experimental data, of the models that are as simple as possible and that capture at the same time the essential features of rock behavior. How far can we simplify? The classical Mohr-Coulomb and Drucker-Prager models with constant internal friction coefficient , cohesion, and dilatancy factor are clearly oversimplified as in reality all these parameters are not constant but evolve with both the stress state and the material damage or inelastic strain (Fig. 1).
