Popis: This work takes a look at the present knowledge of the impact resistance of plastics. Two approaches are discussed and examined: the first is instrumented impact testing, and the second is that proposed by Williams and coworkers at Imperial College, London. The advantages of both are discussed and examined with particular reference to fracture mechanics analysis of impact data. It is shown that fracture mechanics gives a satisfactory theoretical assessment of the whole problem and many of the most important parameters of the material can now be determined by impact testing.
