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 …

Coupled static-dynamic tests were carried out on notched semi-circular bend (NSCB)
granitic specimens using a modified split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) device, to …

To understand combined effects of water saturation and loading rate on the fracture
behavior of rock materials, dynamic notched semi-circular bending (NSCB) tests were …

An experimental investigation is conducted to study the quasi-static and dynamic fracture
behaviour of sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic rocks. The notched semi-circular …

Three different types of strain-hardening, cement-based composites (SHCC) as well as their
constitutive cementitious matrices were investigated under uniaxial quasi-static and impact …

The behavior of concrete structures is strongly influenced by the loading rate. Compared to
quasi-static loading concrete loaded by impact loading acts in a different way. First, there is …

Abrasion damage of concrete induced by sediment-laden flow has been a significant
durability problem for hydraulic structures. Due to the complexity of dynamic fields and …

Compared to quasi-static loading concrete loaded by higher loading rates acts in a different
way. There is an influence of strain-rate and inertia on resistance, failure mode and crack …

Studying rock behavior under the effect of dynamic loads is one of the practical issues in
engineering projects that has been considered by many researchers in last decades …

The behavior of concrete/reinforced concrete structures is strongly influenced by the loading
rate. Reinforced concrete structural members subjected to impact loads behave quite …
