Dynamic Fracturing Behavior of Layered Rock with Different Inclination Angles in SHPB Tests

Figure 3

The relationship between failure pattern ratio and inclination angle for bedded sandstones ((A) splitting along bedding planes; (B) sliding failure along bedding planes; (C1) fracturing oblique to loading direction; (C2) fracturing parallel to loading direction; (C3) mixed fracturing across bedding planes.).
