Effects of grain size and gradation on the dynamic responses of quartz sands

Jeffrey Huang, Sheng Xu

The dynamic compression responses of quartz sands of different grain sizes and gradations are tested with a modified spilt Hopkinson pressure bar in which a single-pulse loading system is implemented. The yield stresses, the compressibility and the energy- ...
