Impact Strength

 

Impact Strength Formula

IS=EaAc     (Impact Strength)

Ea=ISAc

Ac=EaIS

Symbol English Metric
IS = Impact Strength ftlbf/in2 J/mm2
Ea = Energy Absorbed ftlbf J
Ac = Area Cross-section in2 mm2

Impact strength is a material property that describes its ability to withstand a sudden applied force or shock without fracturing or breaking.  It measures how much energy a material can absorb during a high-speed impact before it fails.  This property is used in engineering and material science, especially for applications where materials face dynamic loads, such as in automotive parts, protective gear, or construction components.
