Moreover, as the specimen increases and the strain rate decreases, U e / U shows a gradually decreasing trend while U d / U shows an increasing trend, indicating that the proportion of elastic strain energy used to release decreases at this time, and the degree of brittle failure of the specimen also decreases.
