CONT

The overall impact resistance of a structure is defined as its ability to absorb and dissipate the energy delivered to it during relatively high speed collisions with other objects without sustaining damage that would jeopardize its intended function. ... Methods employed to determine the impact resistance of plastics include: pendulum methods (Izod impact, tensile impact, and falling dart/Gardner impact) and instrumented techniques.
