How to Calculate Impact Strength
Calculates the notched or unnotched impact toughness/strength of a specimen from the absorbed impact test energy.
The Formula
energy / (thickness / 1000)The impact strength formula uses the mathematical relationship: energy / (thickness / 1000). Each variable in the formula represents a measurable quantity that affects the final result.
Step-by-Step Method
- 1Identify all input values needed for the impact strength calculation.
- 2Substitute your known values into the formula: energy / (thickness / 1000).
- 3Perform the arithmetic operations in the correct order (PEMDAS/BODMAS).
- 4Check that your result has the correct units and is within a reasonable range.
- 5Verify using the interactive Impact Strength Calculator to confirm your answer.
