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 …

To investigate the dynamic characteristics and fracture mechanisms of gas-bearing coal
samples, a split Hopkinson pressure bar experimental system (SHPB-GAS) was built, using …

Experimental methods for determining the tensile strength of concrete-like materials over a
wide range of strain-rates from 10− 4 to 102s− 1 are examined in this paper. Experimental …

High-strength, lightweight concrete materials have been widely used in many building
structures, while the dynamic behaviors under high-strain-rate loading are not well …

The promise of fibre-reinforced cementitious composites for dynamic loading application
stems from their observed good response under static loading. An experimental research …

The dynamic characterization of rocks under intermediate and high strain rates is
fundamental to understand the material behavior in case of heavy earthquakes and dynamic …
