Jim, that was my thought.
That the only way to mimic this would be to force a dynamic factor by attempting to speed up a strain test. But then we are back to the point CoryPad made, we are wanting to know how much energy it will absorb and a rapid strain will be a poor way of showing that...
The spec. requires a ft-lb test.
The suggestion was to enact a lbf test and make it equivelant.
CoryPad, I apologize, this is my first use of the forum and I am not exactly e-text savvy, so if I am violating the rules I apologize. I did review this FAQ you mentioned and believed I was...
The problem is that I am not looking for a test on a material.
I am trying to emulate an impact test with a tensile test for its simplicity.
I build MacPherson struts and all the welded components that are attached to the strut are required to pass a specified load impact test. There are so...
I have been asked to find a relationship between an impact strength and a tensile strength.
I have a welded part which must meet an impact test specification and I looking for a way to emulate that test with a simple tensile test.
Is there an equation or a conversion or any direct...
