Principle

Izod and charpy testing can be used to measure the material's resistance to impact from a swinging pendulum. These tests can be used as a means to check for a material's impact properties or to compare a material's general toughness. This type of testing can be performed on both notched and unnotched specimens for both izod and charpy.

Multi-axial impact is a high speed impact test used to determine the toughness of a material. This test can provide load-deflection curves and total energy absorption. It is often used for applications involving high energy impact scenarios.
