摘要The seismic quality factor is commonly used to describe the attenuation characteristics of stress wave propagation across rock masses. In order to research the influence of Joint Matching Coefficients(JMCs) on the seismic quality factor Qs of jointed rock mass，a series of uniaxial impact compression experiments were conducted on the granite specimens containing artificial joint by using the apparatus of split Hopkinson pressure bar(SHPB). A method to calculate the seismic quality factor is proposed based on the variation of stress wave energy and conformed to the concept of seismic quality factor. The method is proved to be equivalent to the stress-strain method on the condition that the stresses on the specimen are uniform. The stress-strain curves were calculated through the three-wave method，while the seismic quality factor of the specimen was calculated with the energy method. The experimental results show that both the dynamic secant modulus and quality factor decrease with the decrease of joint matching coefficient，indicating that a joint with smaller contact area weakens the whole specimen，but enhances the ability of energy dissipation.
