In the present work, dynamic stress-strain response of five sedimentary and three metamorphic rocks from different regions of India, e.g. Kota sandstone, Dholpur sandstone, Kota limestone, Himalayan limestone, dolomite, quartzite, quartzitic gneiss and phyllite have been investigated through split Hopkinson pressure bar test at different strain rates. The dry density, specific gravity, static compressive strength and tensile strength values of the rocks have also been determined. Petrological studies of the rocks have been carried out through X-ray diffraction test and scanning electron microscope test. It is observed from the stress-strain response of the rocks that the peak stress increases with increasing strain rate. Dynamic increase factors for the strength of these rocks have been determined by comparing the dynamic and the static peak compressive stresses and correlation equations are proposed.
