The purpose of this review is to discuss the development and the state of the art in dynamic
testing techniques and dynamic mechanical behaviour of rock materials. The review begins …

Dynamic properties of rocks are important in a variety of rock mechanics and rock
engineering problems. Due to the transient nature of the loading, dynamic tests of rock …

Ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) has been accepted rapidly attributed to its superior
mechanical performance and the split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) is being widely …

We present pulse shaping techniques to obtain compressive stress-strain data for brittle
materials with the split Hopkinson pressure bar apparatus. The conventional split Hopkinson …

A critical review of three classic papers by B Hopkinson, RM Davies, and H Kolsky, and the
state-of-the-art in Hopkinson bar experimental techniques is presented. The validity and …

The uniaxial compressive behavior of coral aggregate concrete was experimentally
investigated under quasi-static to dynamic loading rates. Quasi-static compression tests of …

Uniaxial compression tests are the most common tests for characterizing the strength of
concrete-like materials. The dynamic compression strength of concrete-like material is …

This paper presents a split Hopkinson pressure bar technique to obtain compressive stress-
strain data for rock materials. This technique modifies the conventional split Hopkinson bar …

We report laboratory experiments to investigate the dynamic failure characteristics of
outburst‐prone coal using a split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB). For comparison, two …

An experimental technique that modifies the conventional split Hopkinson pressure bar has
been developed for measuring the compressive stress-strain responses of materials with …
