Questions and Answers

What is the purpose of an impact test?

  • To assess the material's resistance to impact loading (correct)
  • To calculate the material's thermal conductivity
  • To determine the density of the specimen
  • To measure the tensile strength of the material

What does the impact energy value indicate about a material?

  • Its thermal conductivity
  • Its tensile strength
  • Its toughness under test conditions (correct)
  • Its density

What are the three conditions chosen for impact test to represent potential for fracture?

  • Low temperature, low strain rate, and uniaxial stress state
  • High temperature, low strain rate, and uniaxial stress state
  • Low temperature, high strain rate, and triaxial stress state (correct)
  • High temperature, high strain rate, and uniaxial stress state
