Fitting modelsReferencesAdvantagesDisadvantages

Barksdale [32]Few parameters and simple model form(1) Models: poor fit accuracy at the later stage (the strain tends to be stable, but the fitting value is still rising)
(2) Parameters: no physical meaning
(3) Ignore the effects of stress history and environmental change
Monismith et al. [33]
Li and Selig [34]
Zhang et al. [35]
Paute et al. [36] and Nie et al. [27]Two-stage fitting model
High accuracy
(1) Difficult to determine the boundary of different strain stages
(2) Ignore the effect of stress history
Chai and Miura [37]Considering the dynamic stress level(1) Models: complex form
(2) Parameters: difficult to determine
