A theoretical analysis of the stress state in specimen of the SHPB experiment was performed in consideration of lateral inertia effect. The nonuniformity of lateral stress in specimen and variety of deforming velocity in the loading process were taken into account in the analysis. A formula to correcting the lateral inertia effect was obtained. The force and deformation velocity of specimen-bar interfaces during the loading process got from a numerical simulation of SHPB were used to verify the theoretical analysis formula. It shows that the deviation of reconstructed curve from the inputted relationship can be brought down with the correction formula.
