Abstract
The present work aims to understand the stress–strain response of a metamorphic rock, and gneiss under high loading rate for different specimen diameters and slenderness ratios through detailed tests. The high strain rate characterisation of gneiss rock is done for two different diameters and five different slenderness ratios of the rock specimens using a 76 mm-diameter split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) device in an effort to understand the standard specimen dimension for gneiss in SHPB test. The stress–strain response of the rock specimens is studied by varying the length of the striker bars and the gas gun pressure values, systematically. The petrological and static characterisation of the gneiss rock is also carried out to assess the response of the rock specimens. Finally, a methodology is proposed to characterize gneiss rock specimens under high loading rate. Furthermore, numerical simulation of SHPB test on gneiss rock is performed using strain rate-dependent Johnson–Holmquist (JH-2) model available in the finite-element software package, LS-DYNA. The simulation results are compared with the experimental data, and thus, the parameters of JH-2 model for gneiss rock are determined.
