Dynamic compression and recovery of cancellous bone for microstructural investigation

Knowledge of soft porous materials, such as cancellous bone, under dynamic loading requires accurate descriptions of high-rate mechanical responses. A novel modification of the standard Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) technique, that makes dynamic specimen recovery possible, is presented. Two im...
