Rock and soil material has strong rate dependence; its complete stress-strain relation belongs to the type of hardening-softening
It is important to describe these two characteristics. Based on the analysis of physical deformation mechanism
considering the structure characteristic
the elasto-viscoplastic model is used. To set up the elasto-viscoplastic model which can describe the structure changes
the variable viscosity coefficients and its evolution equation are applied to the elasto-viscoplastic model. The result of basalt normal triaxial constant rate test is used to test the rationality of the model. The result shows that the model can completely and rationally describe the complete stress-strain relation and its rate dependence
