Question

What does the impact strength of material indicate

Answer 1

Impact strength is the capability of the material to withstand a suddenly applied load and is expressed in terms of energy. Volume, modulus of elasticity, distribution of forces, and yield strength affect the impact strength of a material.

Answer 2

The impact strength of a material indicates its capability of withstanding the application of a sudden load. This strength is affected by multiple parameters such as volume, yield strength, distribution of forces and modulus of elasticity. It is expressed in terms of energy. For a material to have high impact strength, the stress must be uniformly distributed.
