Abstract
The split Hopkinson pressure bar experiment, wherein frozen soil is subjected to
uniaxial and coupled dynamic-static impact loads, was simulated numerically. The
results revealed that frozen soil exhibited strain rate and temperature effects under
uniaxial impact load only. When the frozen soil specimen under an initial quasistatic
load (axial pressure or confining pressure) was subjected to an axial impact load,
the stress-strain curve of the specimen was obtained. The initial axial and
confining pressures, which had identical values and were applied to the specimen
simultaneously, are referred to as the combined load in this paper. When the
specimen under combined load was subjected to an axial impact load, its
peak stress values exhibited varying trends for different value ranges of the
combined load. Finally, the destruction of the frozen soil specimen varied
significantly with the increase in axial pressure, confining pressure, and combined
load.
