Abstract： In order to study the crushing energy dissipation characteristics of graphite ore rock under impact loads， φ 50 mm diameter split Hopkinson pressure bar( SHPB) test device is used to conduct impact compression tests． The crushing energy dissipation law of the graphite ore rock samples is analyzed under different loading rates with five different impact pressures from 0． 2 MPa to 0． 6 MPa with a 0． 1 MPa interval． The test results show that the dynamic compressive strength of the samples have a strong third-order polynomial relationship with the average strain rate under impact loads． The graphite ore rock has dynamic hardening under impact loads，and its dynamic compressive strength in- creases nonlinearly with the increase of strain rate，which shows an obvious strain rate effect． In addition，there is an obvious logarithmic relationship between the crushing dissipation energy and the incident energy． With the increase of incident energy，the crushing dissipation energy also increases． However，the proportion of the crushing energy gradually decreases from 0． 38 to 0． 11． The crushing energy dissipation density of the samples has an obvious strain rate effect， and its value increases with the increase of strain rate． Besides，the average particle size of the broken samples is strongly correlated with the energy dissipation density of the samples． As the energy dissipation density increases，the crushing degree of the sample becomes more severe． Therefore，the average particle size of the crushing fragments can be used to quantitatively describe the crushing degree of the samples．
