RE: Impact Analysis
 
Impact analysis- analysis to test toughness of a material ie. its ability to absorb energy during plastic deformation. Tougness takes into account both strength and ductility factor. Impact strengths are generally lower than strengths achieved under slow loading. For testing impact strengths we have 2 basic tests- 1. Izod test 2.  Charpy test

Izod test- It consists of testing toughness of a material keeping it fixed and making a notch in it and striking it with the hammer...the impact is ;read by a pivoted device.refer to web for diagrams.

Charpy test- similar to izod test except that here the job is simply supported. rest everything is same.
refer to figure for the difference instron.in/wa/products/impact/images/charpyIzod . gif
