Effect of loading rate and arc boundary on dynamic crack arrest behavior of brittle material under dynamic loads

Abstract The development and extension of microcracks in rocks affect the integrity and stability of rock mass construction. External dynamic loads with different loading rates lead to different dynamic fracture characteristics of rock fractures. In this study, a large-sized PMMA specimen with an ar...
