It is assumed that the damage tensor is just the second-order fabric tensor. Then, the damage tensor can be defined as [29] 3 1 1 N r V     = =  D n n (9) where r  and  n are the radius and normal vector of the α - crack. If the crack density is small, interaction among cracks can be neglected. The Helmholtz free energy function can be expressed as follows [30-31]: ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) 2 2 0 0 1 0 0 2 3 4 , 2 1 1 2 e e e e e e e e e e e e E tr tr b tr tr b tr b tr tr b tr tr       = +  +   + −  +   +  +  ε D ε ε ε D ε ε ε D ε ε D D ε ε (10) where 0 E is Young’s modulus, 0 v is Poisson’s ratio, ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) 2 2 2 2 0 1 1 0 2 0 3 0 0 4 0 0 2 2 0 0 1 1 2 1 1 2 E b a a a a           = − + + + + + −   + − , ( ) 2 2 0 2 2 0 1 a E b  = − + , ù ( ) ( ) ( ) 2 0 3 2 0 3 0 2 0 0 2 1 1 1 2 E b a a     = − + +     + − , ( ) 2 4 0 4 2 0 1 a E b  = − + , 1 2 3 4 7 2 , , , 70 7 7 35 c c c c a h a h a h a h + = − = = = − , ( ) ( ) 2 0 0 0 16 1 3 2 h E   − = − , 0 c v = − (when cracks are open), 2 c = − (when cracks are closed).

(9) and Eqn. (11) describe the initial anisotropic elastic damage behaviors of geomaterials. Damage Characterization Damage kinetics may be determined by the pseudo-potential of dissipation. The damage initiation and the damage evolution law are controlled by the damage’s energy release. The damage initiation and the da mage evolution law are concluded in the case of non-viscous dissipation using a damage criterion, which is a scalar-valued function of damage energy release. The energy-based damage criterion is contemplated in the following form [32-33]:
