The RHT model has 34 parameters, among which 19 parameters can be obtained by ex-periments or theoretical calculations and the remaining 15 parameters are difficult to acquire. In this study, firstly, 10 Hopkinson impact tests were conducted to acquire the typical stress-strain curves of granite under dynamic loads. Through the sensitivity analysis, it is found that 13 of the 15 difficult-acquired parameters are effective to affect the shape of the stress-strain curve, and the other two pa-rameters have no effect. Following the initial determination of model parameters with reference to the concrete RHT model, a new approach is proposed to optimize the 13 influential parameters through the LS-DYNA numerical simulation and orthogonal experiments. Finally, the determined granite RHT model parameters are verified by the results of Hopkinson impact tests conducted in this study and the bullet penetration test by Wang et al. Both results of the numerical simulations are in a good agreement with the tested results, which validates the suitability of the proposed method to ac-quire RHT model parameters for granite and the other rocks.
