The mechanical response of wet volcanic sand to impact loading, effects of water content and initial compaction

The effects of water content and initial compaction on the dynamic response of volcanic sand from Mount Etna were investigated by a series of experiments on a long Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar apparatus capable of generating stress pulses of duration exceeding one millisecond. The dynamic stress–str...
