| Summary: | To analyse the dynamic failure characteristics of the rock with a crack in rock engineering, the Brazilian split tests were conducted on the split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) using precrack specimens under dynamic loads. In the study, five groups of different precrack angles are selected; they are 0°, 30°, 45°, 60°, and 90°, respectively. The results show that the static failure load of the specimen as a whole decreases to increase with the growth of the loading angle, and the DIF linear increases with the increase of the loading rate; the failure load of the specimen with an angle of 45° precrack is the most sensitive to the loading rate, followed by 0°, 60°, 30°, and 90°. The crack initiation time of specimen with 30°, 45°, and 60°precrack decreases with the loading rate, while it has no obvious change with the loading rate with 0° and 90°precrack. The failure mode of the specimen was controlled by the stress concentration at the crack tip; the main cracks all point from the crack tip to the loading end. When the precrack and the loading direction are at a certain angle, the failure process will produce secondary cracks; it would be particularly obvious under dynamic load splitting. Once the precrack and the loading direction are at a certain inclination angle, type-II secondary cracks will develop under dynamic load splitting.
