Demo Outline (For reference)
Impact Test
Solid Mechanics

An impact test is a dynamic test conducted on a selected


specimen which is usually notched. The specimen is
struck and broken by a single blow in a specially
designed machine.

This demo illustrates the experiment setup, procedure


and the energy absorbed in an impact test.

Impact Test
Solid Mechanics

Results of the Charpy Impact test and the Izod impact test

cannot be compared

can be compared if the specimens have the same


dimensions

should be used in tandem to estimate the


toughness of the material
can be compared if the pendulum / hammer has
the same weight
Impact Test
Solid Mechanics

Results of an impact test

can be used directly in design equations for


components
can be used in design equations for components only after
empirical correlation has been obtained
can be used in design equations after adjusting for
temperature difference only
cannot be used for design calculations

Impact tests

are independent of specimen size

are independent of notch size

are dependent on specimen size

are dependent on notch size


Impact Test
Solid Mechanics

The temperature of the specimen

does not affect the results of the test

is directly proportional to the measured toughness

is inversely proportional to the measured toughness

affects the measured toughness differently for different


materials
