Effect of structurally-induced lateral confinement on split Hopkinson pressure bar test specimens of concrete-like materials

In dynamic testing of concrete-like materials, there is a need in distinguishing structural effects from genuine strain-rate effects. In this paper, this generic problem is studied by numerical simulations based on a phenomenological material model available in the commercial finite element (FE) cod...
