Martel conçut dès 1895, un essai de pénétration dynamique par la chute d'un pénétrateur sur la surface du matériau et la mesure de l'empreinte laissée après rebondissement. Le nombre de dureté était, par définition, égal au rapport de l'énergie du pénétrateur au volume de l'empreinte. La mesure de la hauteur de rebondissement a également été proposée pour mesurer la dureté du matériau. Elle a été reprise par Shore sous la forme d'une petite masse d'acier terminée par un diamant arrondi qui tombe dans un tube lisse, d'une hauteur fixe, et rebondit d'autant plus haut que la pénétration est plus faible, donc que le métal est plus dur. 2, record 1, French, - nombre%20de%20duret%C3%A9%20Shore
