On the Tensile Strength of Granite at High Strain Rates considering the Influence from Preexisting Cracks
The dynamic tensile behavior of granite samples, when some preexisting cracks are introduced artificially, is investigated. Spalling tests using a Hopkinson bar are performed and strain rates of ~102 1/s are obtained in both specimen types (with and without initial cracks). This experimental techniq...
