Dynamic Uniaxial Tensile Strength Tests on Limestone

作者：Ajay Kumar Jha

摘要：Dynamic properties of limestone govern the rock fragmentation characteristics.Failure of rock under tension is more likely as compared to failure under compression under static or dynamic loading both.Since the application of explosives creates dynamic loading and is a dynamic event,the determination of dynamic modulus values is technically more appropriate than the static measurement.The rock fragmentation would significantly improve by investigating the dynamic uniaxial tensile strength as specific fracture energy,stress intensity factor,fracture toughness of any detonating blast hole depend heavily on dynamic rock property and not on static rock property.Most of the limestone projects globally are still accustomed with using static tensile strength to understand the rock fragmentation.The present papers deal with determination of dynamic uniaxial tensile property using split Hopkinson pressure bar(SHPB)system.The nano second high speed camera with laser captures the crack surface opening velocity during dynamic loading.It was observed during data analysis that dynamic tensile strength of limestone increases by 1.2-2.3 times of the static strength.It may be concluded by the study that determination of dynamic tensile strength is paramount for understanding the rock fragmentation.
