Received 22 March 2014 Due to the transient nature of the loading, dynamic tests of rock materials are very different from and Received in revised form much more challenging than their static counterparts. Dynamic tests are usually conducted using the 11 June 2014 split Hopkinson bar or Kolsky bar systems, which include both split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) and Accepted 24 June 2014 Available online 26 December 2014 split Hopkinson tension bar (SHTB) systems. Significant progress has been made on the quantification of various rock dynamic properties, owing to the advances in the experimental techniques of SHPB system. This review aims to fully describe and critically assess the detailed procedures and principles of tech- Keywords: Rock niques for dynamic rock tests using
