C. Albertini et al., IMPACT FRACTURE PROCESS AND MECHANICAL-PROPERTIES OF PLAIN CONCRETE BY MEANS OF AN HOPKINSON BAR BUNDLE, Journal de physique. IV, 7(C3), 1997, pp. 915-920
The specimen size of concrete specimens should be large enough to be r
epresentative of the material. In this paper it is shown how the bundl
e bars method allows the dynamic mechanical characterisation by using
the uniaxial elastic wave propagation theory used in the Hokinson bar
technique.
