Uniaxial Compressive Behavior of Granite at High Strain Rates

Granite is a common construction material that is widely used in the various types of structures, but its dynamic behavior is not clearly understood. To investigate the uniaxial compressive behavior of the granite under high strain rates compression, three groups of specimens with the same aspect ratio (0.5) but different diameters were tested with two large split Hopkinson pressure bar systems with respective diameters of 60 and 155 mm. The...
