Dynamic mechanical properties of different types of rocks under impact loading.

To study the mechanical properties of different types of rocks under impact loading, static mechanical parameter tests and split-Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) dynamic impact experiments were conducted on five typical rock specimens. The mechanical properties and failure modes of different rock specimens under the same static and dynamic loading were investigated. The differences between numerical simulation results and laboratory test results under different constitutive models in LS-DYNA were also compared and analyzed. The results show that with the increase of SHPB impact pressure (0.5-0.8 MPa), the stress peak values of granite, marble, and limestone also increase, while gypsum and reef limestone follow no particular trend. At the same time, both HJC and RHT constitutive models can simulate the laboratory impact test results of granite, marble, and limestone, however, the gypsum and reef limestone are not modelled by the HJC constitutive model, while the RHT constitutive model can describe the deformation-damage-failure process of rock specimens with different strengths. Therefore, the RHT model can better reflect the real deformation and failure of rocks.
