    What is Impact force?
    ● In mechanics, an impact is a high force or shock load
    applied over a very short period of time.
    ● Such a force or acceleration has a greater effect than a
    lower force applied over a proportionally longer period.
    ● Ex;- Wind force, Car crash, Natural disasters such as
    Earthquakes,etc.
    Why impact test is necessary?
    ● To know the impact energy :- the energy required to break a
    standard sized sample with a sudden, sharp load.
    ● To find toughness of the material that is the ability to absorb
    energy without breaking.
    ● To determine the tendency of a material in a brittle manner. It
    detects difference between materials which are not in tension
    test.
    History
    Brittle fracture in war ships during WW2.
    Brittle Fracture Cleavage
    It is aided by

    ● Triaxial state of stress


    ● A low temperature
    ● High Strain Rate/Rapid Rate of Loading
    Charpy Impact Test
    ● The Charpy impact test was invented in 1900 by Georges
    Augustin Albert Charpy (1865–1945)
    ● The Charpy impact test, also known as the Charpy V-notch test,
    is a standardized high strain rate test which determines the
    amount of energy absorbed by a material during fracture.
    Specifications of Charpy Test
    The specimen has

    ● a square cross-section (10 x 10 mm)


    ● a 45° V-notch
    ● 2 mm deep with a 0.25 mm root radius.

    Impact velocity of pendulum is approximately 16 ft/s.

    The strain rate is of the order of 103 per second.


    Working Principle
    Observations
    Material Used :- Mild Steel

    S.No Temperature Energy absorbed

    1 Room Temperature (25°C) 186J

    2 Liquid Nitrogen Temperature (-35°C) 96J


    Observed Fracture Surfaces
    Inferences drawn from Charpy Test
    ● We can measure the energy absorbed in fracturing the
    specimen.
    ● We can determine whether the fracture surface is
    fibrous, granular, or a mixture of both.
    ● We can determine the ductile to brittle fracture
    transition temperature.
    Advantages and Disadvantages

    small test specimen. difficult to use in design.

    2 Test can be readily carried over a No correlation of Charpy data with flaw

    Precautions to be taken
    ● The specimen should be prepared in proper dimensions.
    ● Placement of the sample should be very precisely. If the V-notch is
    too high or too low in the clamp, the results will not be accurate.
    ● Do not stand along the swinging hammer or releasing hammer.
    ● When cooling the sample in liquid nitrogen, it is important that we
    take proper safety measures in cooling it as liquid nitrogen is
    highly explosive.
