Falling Dart Uninstrumented Impact
Test ID
M-412
Description
This test subjects a molded plaque to impact by uninstrumented falling dart at varying impact energies using a staircasing method to determine energy to failure.
Options
Standards
- ASTM D3763
- ISO 6603-1
Data
Deflection at Maximum Load, Energy at Maximum Load, Failure Type, Maximum Load, Total Energy. This data appears in Matereality as Instrumented Dart Impact.
Replicates
Number of times this test is repeated: 5
Samples
30 impact plaques [details]
Application
This test is sufficient to characterize the impact behavior of plastics in terms of an impact failure energy. If a force-deformation curve is desired, test [M-410] should be selected.
