The Charpy and Izod methods are similar and both work on the same principle, where the specimen is held firmly and a weighted pendulum strikes it. The amount of energy absorbed by the breaking specimen is then measured.
Brittle materials, like glass and ceramics, generally absorb less energy as opposed to ductile materials like aluminium and copper.
Knowing this property is critical as it helps predict the amount of plastic deformation it will withstand before failure.
The most common test methods for this test are
ISO 148 ASTM E23, ASTM A370, EN 10045-1. For polymers the methods are ISO 179 & ASTM D6110
The most common tests for this method are
ISO 180, ASTM E23 & ASTM D256
