4impact test — Test of the ability of a material to withstand impact, used by engineers to predict its behaviour under actual conditions. Many materials fail suddenly under impact, at flaws, cracks, or notches. The most common impact tests use a swinging… …
5Charpy impact test — noun A test of the impact strength of a material, used to determine its relative ductility or brittleness. The test is executed by swinging a large, heavy hammer on a pendulum from a predetermined height. The hammer fractures the material sample …
6Izod impact test — a test specimen, usually of square crossed section is notched and held between a pair of jaws, to be broken by a swinging or falling weight. When the pendulum of the Izod testing machine is released it swings with a downward movement and when it… …

9impact resistance test — A determination of the resistance to breakage by flexural shock of plastics, as indicated by the energy extracted from standardized pendulum type hammers, mounted in standard machines, in breaking standard specimens with one pendulum swing …
10Charpy test — a test to measure the impact properties of steel. A prepared test piece, usually notched, is broken by a swinging pendulum. The energy consumed in breaking the test piece is measured in Joules. The more brittle the steel the lower the impact… …
