Iskukestävyydellä
Iskukestävyydellä, which translates to impact resistance in English, refers to a material's ability to withstand sudden, high-force loads without fracturing or deforming significantly. It is a crucial property in the design of many products and structures where accidental impacts are a possibility. Materials with high impact resistance can absorb and dissipate energy from a blow, preventing catastrophic failure.
This property is distinct from strength, which typically refers to a material's resistance to static loads.
Impact resistance is often measured using standardized tests such as the Charpy or Izod impact tests. These
Common applications where impact resistance is paramount include automotive components (bumpers, dashboards), protective gear (helmets, safety
