The dynamic tensile strength plays a pivotal role in rock fragmentation affecting the overall economics under the present ‘Mine to Mill Concept’. In this paper, a modified SHPB technique and Brazilian test method is presented to test the dynamic tensile strength of coal, shale and sandstone rock samples collected from three opencast mines of Coal India Limited and is compared with the static strength value. The dynamic tensile strength of coal and rock is much higher than static strength and tensile strength of coal and rock samples increase with loading rate. The result shows that the dynamic strength of the coal sample is 1.5 times higher than static strength and the dynamic strength of the sandstone sample is 3 times higher than the static strength.

Split Hopkinson pressure bar technique has been widely used to measure the dynamic tensile strength of concrete materials. Most experimental results show that the tensile strength of concrete material increases with strain rates. However, the dynamic tensile strength derived from the split Hopkinson pressure bar test is affected by lateral inertia confinement, which may lead to the overestimation of dynamic mechanical properties of concrete materials. The true dynamic characteristics of concrete materials are not actually shown by experimental data. It is impossible to completely eliminate the influence of lateral inertia confinement in split Hopkinson pressure bar tests. In this study, a rate-insensitive material model is used in commercial finite element software to study how the lateral inertia confinement affects the dynamic tensile strength of concrete material at strain rates between 30/s and 150/s. Comparison of finite element results and split Hopkinson pressure bar test results shows that the dynamic tensile strength enhancement of concrete materials is strongly influenced by the inertial effect. The dynamic increase factor of concrete materials which remove the influence of lateral inertia confinement in split Hopkinson pressure bar tests can reflect the true dynamic characteristics of concrete materials. It is also found that the influence of lateral inertia confinement is related to the size of the specimen.

SiC/B4C composite was obtained using the reaction sintering method with Si infiltration, which exhibited excellent mechanical properties. The dynamic compressive response was investigated using a Split Hopkinson pressure bar at high strain rates ranging from 0.4×103 to 1.2×103 s-1. The results show that the dynamic strength of the SiC/B4C composite obtains a peak value at a strain rate of 1000/s, while its strain increased continuously with increasing strain rate. The dynamic loading mode of SiC/B4C composite exhibited three deformation regions, including an inelastic deformation region, rapid loading region and failure region. The dynamic failure mode of SiC/B4C composite depended upon the strain rate.

An experimental system of high-temperature split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) was developed by combination of the split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) and microwave heating system, then tests of concrete whose temperature changed from room temperature to 650°С and impact velocity from 5m/s to 12m/s were completed. Based on the test results, the dynamic strength of concrete increases with increasing impact velocity whether with high temperature or room temperature, meanwhile the dynamic strength of concrete with high temperature has the strain rate effect, but the effect keeps decreasing with temperature increasing, even at temperature above 500°С , compressive strength will not have strain rate sensitive effect any longer when strain rate surpasses a certain value. In the meantime, the strain rate hardening effect is coupled with high temperature weakening effect, but the latter has greater influence.
