To detennine the impact strength of the specimen material using lzod's Groove

BASIC CONCEPT

For a gradually applied load, the stress developed in the body is equal to the load per unit area. In
field, selection of suitable material for some jobs will depend on the material's capability to take up
repeated ·momentary inaximum stress due to impact or shock loads. The impact strength of the
material is 'the measure of the energy required to break a specimen of unit area.

APPARATUS

I. Impact Testing Machine

2. Vernier Cali,Per

FORMULAE
Actual energy 2
Impact strength = . (N-m/mm )
Cross-sectional area

PROCEDURE
J. Secure the striker fully to the center of percussion of the hammer with screws.
2. Swing the hammer freely to note down the energy loss due to friction.
3. Fix the test specimen in the support with the notch facing the striking direction and tighten the

clamp screws.
4. Read the pointer scale.
5. Release the striker by-operating a lever and break the sample.
6. Bring the pendulum to rest by applying brakes.
7. Read the pointer and scale value. This is the energy required to break the specimen.

8. The results are tabulated.
