Essai utilisé pour étudier la résilience d'un matériau. 5, record 1, French, - essai%20de%20choc
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Un essai de résilience a pour but de déterminer la ténacité d'un métal [ou autre matériau], c'est-à-dire sa résistance au choc. Celle-ci est mesurée par l'énergie nécessaire pour provoquer la rupture d'un échantillon. On appelle cette énergie de rupture la résilience. 6, record 1, French, - essai%20de%20choc
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 CONT
L'essai de résilience est généralement effectué avec le mouton-pendule de Charpy, constitué par une masse de poids déterminé, mobile autour d'un axe fixe; la barre à tester est calée horizontalement aux pieds de l'appareil, de sorte que la masse puisse la casser en tombant d'une certaine hauteur. 7, record 1, French, - essai%20de%20choc
