Iskukoe
Iskukoe is a term used in materials testing to refer to impact testing, a method that measures a material’s toughness by exposing a notched specimen to a sudden, high-energy load. The test determines how much energy the material can absorb before fracturing, providing insight into notch sensitivity, ductility, and behavior under impact or rapid loading. Temperature can be varied to study how toughness changes with heat over a range of conditions.
The two most common variants are the Charpy and Izod tests. Both use a pendulum-type impact tester
Specimens and geometry vary by method and standard. The Charpy V-notch specimen is typically a small rectangular
Applications of iskukoe include quality control in steel, cast iron, aluminum, polymers, and composites; material development;
