Uncertainty-Aware Micromechanical Digital Twin for Rock Behavior in Triaxial Compression Using the Iterative Local Updating Ensemble Smoother
摘要
This study proposes a digital twin framework for rock triaxial mechanical testing. It integrates a micromechanical frictional-damage model with probabilistic assimilation using iterative local updating ensemble smoother (ILUES). The framework exploits the parameterization of the micromechanical model. ILUES mitigates parameter equifinality during inversion. The model captures microcrack growth and frictional slip. Seven physically interpretable parameters describe elastic, frictional, and damage responses. We assimilate stress–strain data across confining pressures using Bayesian updating. This enables online parameter calibration and comprehensive uncertainty quantification. Beishan granite case studies show rapid convergence, high predictive accuracy, and robustness. The approach outperforms the ensemble smoother with multiple data assimilation (ESMDA). The framework clarifies clearer microscale damage evolution and parameter interactions. It delivers reliable predictions from limited experimental data.
