How can I find constitutive laws or models describing fatigue behavior in rock materials?
This question arises from geomechanics research. Fatigue laws seem scattered across disciplines. I want authoritative references.

 From my experience, rock fatigue models are rarely labeled explicitly as such. I have seen them embedded in damage mechanics and time-dependent creep literature. Journals in rock mechanics and geotechnical engineering are the best starting point. I would recommend focusing on continuum damage models, as they capture fatigue behavior under cyclic loading more effectively than classic elastic-plastic laws.
