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 …

This work emphasizes obtaining and validating experimental test results of ultra-high
performance concrete (UHPC) under compressive impact loading at high strain rates (30 …

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 …

Two noncrimp 3D woven carbon fibre composites (through thickness angle interlock) of
binder volume fractions 3% and 6% were characterised for their response to applied …

This work presents a new design for a split Hopkinson tensile bar (SHTB) as well as
generated representative experimental results. The new design uses a U shaped striker bar …

SHPB system was widely used to investigate the dynamical mechanical performances of
materials. In this study, the mechanical performances of T700/BA9916 composite material …

In the fibre reinforced concrete, the geometry, density, distribution and orientation of micro-
steel fibres can have a significant effect on mechanical performance. In this study, five …

The tensile strength of rock subjected to dynamic loading constitutes many engineering
applications such as rock drilling and blasting. The dynamic Brazilian test of rock specimens …

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 …
