This study aims to explore dynamic behaviours of fracturing and damage evolution of rock
materials at the grain scale. A grain-based discrete element method (GB-DEM) is proposed …

We report laboratory experiments to investigate the dynamic failure characteristics of
outburst‐prone coal using a split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB). For comparison, two …

As an energy-saving and environmentally friendly building material, foamed concrete has
been widely applied for construction against impact loading. To investigate the dynamic …

Transition in the rate-dependent mechanical response of rock was investigated due to the
presence of impersistent joint with different infill conditions. Four types of samples, ie intact …

In cold climate regions, rock engineering structures are subjected to repeated processes of
freeze–thaw weathering and consequently the integrity of these structures will gradually …

Understanding the mechanical behavior of rock is a fundamental requirement for many
geological explorations. Based on the frequency dependence of primary and shear wave …

Abstract Using the Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB), a sequence of impact loading
experiments were performed on sandstone to examine the dynamic constringent …

The effect of flaw inclination angle on the mechanical behaviour of rock-like specimens
containing a pre-existing flaw under different infill conditions is investigated under dynamic …

Split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) tests are performed on Himalayan phyllite rock with
five different specimen sizes and with different gas gun pressures and striker bar lengths of …

Rocks containing flaws around rock structures are often subjected to complex temperatures
and geological conditions. This study investigates the mechanical behavior of heat-treated …
