In this paper, the dynamic loading tests of sandstone after heat treatment at 25-800?C are carried out by using the split Hopkinson pressure bar test system. Combined with the theory of energy dissipation, the dynamic fracture and energy consumption characteristics of coal-series sandstone are systematically studied. The test results illustrate that the dynamic fracture and energy consumption characteristics of sandstone are mainly related to the changes of internal moisture and cementing materials.

An effective, low cost method of determining the temperature dependent dynamic response of elastomeric materials at high strain rates using the Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) is developed. The test system allows the determination of the dynamic modulus at temperatures up to 150°C with control of specimen temperature within ± 3°C without the use of specialized equipment or cumbersome heating and positioning fixtures often required for temperature dependent testing. The test specimen is heated using a low cost electric resistance tape, which heats the transmitter and incident bars adjacent to the specimen. A finite element analysis is performed to predict the temperature vs. time response of the test specimen, which is verified using a simple thermocouple arrangement. The dynamic stress-strain response of a nitrile elastomer, commonly used as an impact absorber, is investigated over temperatures ranging from 20°C to 110°C at strain rates between 3000/s and 3500/s. The effect of strain rate on the dynamic modulus is not significant, but the effect of temperature is dramatic. The dynamic modulus of the nitrile is reduced by more than 60% at 110°C.
