Experimental Investigation on Strength and Deformation Characteristics of Red Sandstone at Strain Rates of 10−2∼55 s−1 by Jie Shi, Zongmu Luo, Huachao Liu, Dan Wang, Haipeng Shen, Zeng Li

“…It is indicated that the dynamic compressive strength of sandstone in the range of intermediate strain rate increases approximately linearly with the strain rate under the quasi-static loading condition, while increasing nonlinearly under the dynamic loading condition. The deformation and fracture process of sandstone still consists of pore compaction stage, elastic deformation stage, instable microcrack propagation stage, and brittle fracture stage. …”
