This review provides a comprehensive overview of experimental studies using the split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) for evaluating the high strain rate properties of materials. It outlines key design guidelines and considerations for SHPB setups and describes data analysis methods across its four loading modes. Specialized versions of SHPB techniques and their novel applications are also introduced. A categorized summary of SHPB studies – organized by loading mode and material type – is presented in tabular form. Finally, the review discusses future developments and the potential for broad applications of SHPB techniques across various fields.
