Effect of Heating Rate on the Dynamic Compressive Properties of Granite by Ronghua Shu, Tubing Yin, Xibing Li

“…The microscopic morphological features were obtained by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the crack propagation was determined by high-speed video camera. The experimental results show that the dynamic compressive strength and elastic modulus both show an obvious trend of a decrease with the increasing heating rate and temperature; the opposite phenomenon is observed for the peak strain. …”
