Abstract
Triaxial experiments are widely used for finding the shear properties of geo-materials such as sand, clay and rock. In many instances, these materials undergo dynamic loading where the material is subjected to high rate of deformation. To observe the material response in such condition, a high rate triaxial experimental setup has been developed recently. In the current phase of the work, novel experimental techniques are developed to measure the specimen dimensions and stresses during dynamic triaxial experiments.
