ImpactTests
ImpactTests are a type of experimental procedure designed to assess the response of a material or structure to a sudden application of force. This force is typically applied over a very short duration, distinguishing it from static tests where loads are applied slowly. The primary goal of impact testing is to determine a material's toughness or its ability to absorb energy before fracturing.
Common impact tests include the Charpy V-notch test and the Izod impact test. In both, a pendulum-like
Impact testing is crucial in various industries, including automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing, to ensure the safety
