    1. The document discusses impact testing methods like Charpy and Izod testing to measure how tough materials are through their ability to absorb energy without breaking. 2. Charpy testing impacts specimens horizontally opposite a notch while Izod testing holds specimens vertically and impacts the notched side. 3. Test data from one sample showed it absorbed 50 joules of energy and fractured in a ductile manner.

    Objective:
    To measure the energy absorbed in breaking a notched specimen. Also To test selected
    specimens under conditions of shock loading at fixed temperature.

    Introduction
    Material data sheets display various properties, impact strength being one of them.
    Common impact tests include Charpy, Izod, Dart Impact and others. In this article we'll explore
    impact testing and the differences between the different types of tests. Impact testing reveals
    how tough a material is. Toughness can be defined as the ability of a material to absorb energy
    without breaking.High molecular weight favors high toughness. Crystallinity gives higher
    strength, yet lower toughness; unless the material can transfer the energy through its
    intermolecular structure. For example, nylon is crystalline and is tough due to the molecular
    strength of its backbone. Toughness is often considered to be the most critical mechanical
    property of thermoplastics, because it relates to the service life of the part and influences
    product safety and liability.

    Specimens: 1- Charpy specimen


    Charpy impact testing also utilizes a pendulum to impact the piece. Yet, the orientation of
    the piece is horizontal and the impact is opposite the notch side. This test simulates a high
    speed flexural test (three point bend) of the material. Charpy impact is particularly valuable in
    measuring the effect of micro cracking, flow and weld lines on the parts toughness.

    2- Izod specimen
    Izod impact testing was initially developed by a metallurgist (whom the test is named
    after) for testing metals used for cutting tools; subsequently it was adopted for use by the
    plastics industry for testing plastics. The piece to be tested is held vertically and the impact
    contacts the piece on the notched side in a cantilever beam fashion. The unnotched Izod test
    occurs with the sample simply turned around so the notch is opposite the impact side. The test
    is then labeled "unnotched".

    Conclusion
    The two most common pendulum impact tests are Charpy and Izod. In both methods the
    tested piece is notched. The intention of the notch is to approximate end use conditions; the
    notch serves as a stress concentrator. Impact strength is an important part characteristic and is
    achieved by obtaining a balance between part design and material type. Understanding impact
    testing is an important concept when evaluating product life. We hope this article helps in your
    understanding of impact testing. Impact testing is commonly done with pendulum impact tests.
