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

  1. 1Identify all input values needed for the impact strength calculation.
  2. 2Substitute your known values into the formula: energy / (thickness / 1000).
  3. 3Perform the arithmetic operations in the correct order (PEMDAS/BODMAS).
  4. 4Check that your result has the correct units and is within a reasonable range.
  5. 5Verify using the interactive Impact Strength Calculator to confirm your answer.
