Strain Rate Effect on the Mechanical Properties and Fracture Surface Roughness of Sandstone Subjected to Dynamic Direct Tension

Dynamic properties of rocks are extremely important in a variety of rock mechanics and rock engineering problems. The split Hopkinson tensile bar (SHTB) system is used in this paper to measure the mechanical properties of sandstone specimens under dynamic direct tension, and the full stress-strain c...
