Abstract: The present work aims to understand the stress–strain response of an igneous rock, granite, under high loading rate through detailed experimental and numerical analyses. The high-strain-rate characterization of granite ...

Abstract: In the present work, the rate-dependent stress-strain responses of limestone and dolomite, sedimentary rocks, are determined by using a split Hopkinson pressure bar device under a high loading rate. The petrographical, ...

Abstract: In this paper, the stress-strain response of two extrusive volcanic igneous rocks, e.g., compact basalt (CB) and volcanic breccia (VB), under a high rate of loading is studied experimentally and numerically. The dynamic ...
