Energy Dissipation and Fractal Properties of Coal under Cyclic Impact Loading by Yongliang He, Chuantian Li, Yuping Fu, Xuegang Xing, Liying Sun

“…Split-Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) tests were conducted to study the stress‒strain curve, dynamic compressive strength, elastic modulus, failure strain, and absorbed energy responses with different numbers of impacts and different strain rates. Fractal theory and methods were applied to analyse the influence of different impact pressures and different numbers of impacts on coal sample failure to reveal the relationship between the number of impacts and the fractal size characteristics of coal fragmentation. …”
