Abstract
Three types of tests are considered: the three-point impact bending test, the Brazilian test and a modified version of the spalling test in which a specimen is loaded under uniaxial stress. The importance of conducting a sufficient number of experiments to interpret the results in terms of Weibull statistics and to achieve a simple state of stress is emphasised. Of the three techniques, the uniaxial spalling test satisfies both requirements and permits measurements at rates of strain of the order of 103 s 1 and above.
