Understanding the influence of hydrostatic pressure and loading rate on the strength and
fracture behavior of rocks is very important for the development of deep drilling technology …

Variations in stress conditions of rocks have been observed during blasting for excavation or
large-scale seismic events such as an earthquake. A triaxial Hopkinson bar is developed to …

The paper presents a review of crucial experiments and the latest publications, presenting
the previous and current trends in experimental research in 2018–2021 in the area of soil …

The particle breakage of angular and porous calcareous sands at high strain rates (HSRs) is
important but rarely quantified. This paper conducts a series of split-Hopkinson pressure bar …

The dynamic responses of calcareous sand at high strain rates, closely relating to
geotechnical and ocean engineering, are still not fully understood. This paper reports a …

Calcareous sand has distinct characteristics in comparison with silica sand, such as
dynamic behavior at high strain rates (HSRs). This is closely related to pile driving, aircraft …

The dynamic compressive behavior of sorted and unsorted Eglin sand (Quikrete# 1961 sand
quarried in Pensacola, FL) under confinement was characterized under dry or moisture …

This review provides an overview of testing techniques related to high strain rate (HSR)
loading of granular media, in support of the increasing interest in civilian and military …

Rocks in the deep underground are likely subjected to both hydrostatic confining pressure
and dynamic compression–shear load. Thus, accurately characterizing the dynamic …

Within this two part series we develop a new material model for ceramic protection materials
to provide an interface between microstructural parameters and bulk continuum behavior to …
