Experimental Study of Dynamic Mechanical Properties of Granite

Abstract:

Based on the SHPB (Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar), the dynamic mechanical properties of the granite in the borehole have been tested separately. The data shows that the impact dynamic strength increases as the precompression stress increases and can reach its maximum when the precompression stress is about 50% of the static tension strength. Meanwhile, the coupled static and dynamic strength increases as well, and it could reach about three times of the static precompression stress and one and half times of the dynamic strength respectively. Also, the failure model of the coupled static and dynamic loading is tension failure, which is the same as the static tension and conventional dynamic loading test.
