In this study, through a series of static mechanical tests and split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) dynamic impact tests, the static and dynamic mechanical parameters of yellow sandstone are determined, and the Holmquist–Johnson–Cook model parameters of the rock are determined by the test data and theoretical calculation. The feasibility of a numerical model is verified, based on which the SHPB impact process under different axial pressure is subjected to numerical analysis. The results show that with increasing impact load, the degree of rock breakage increases, and the dynamic compressive strength and dynamic elastic modulus increase continuously. With the application and increase of axial pressure, the dynamic compressive strength and dynamic elastic modulus of the rock decrease gradually under the same impact load, and the maximum cumulative strain keeps increasing, indicating that under the influence of axial pressure, micro-cracks in the rock have initially developed and expanded. With increasing axial pressure, the rock is more vulnerable to breakage, and its weakening degree keeps increasing. The energy utilization rate of one-dimensional dynamic and static combined loading is affected by the axial compression ratio and impact load. At low axial compression ratio, the rock has high impact resistance but high energy utilization rate; at high axial compression ratio, the rock has low impact resistance but low energy utilization rate. Therefore, the combination of axial compression ratio and impact velocity can improve the crushing effect and energy utilization rate on the premise of clear crushing form requirements.
