Isku vastuksesta, commonly referred to as impact resistance, is a measure of a material's ability to withstand a sudden, forceful blow. Unlike tensile strength, which describes resistance to slow pulling forces, impact resistance focuses on how well a material can absorb and dissipate energy from a rapid impact. This property is crucial in applications where materials are subjected to sudden shocks, such as in automotive components, protective gear, and structural elements that might experience seismic activity.
The assessment of impact resistance often involves standardized tests like the Charpy or Izod impact tests.
