La mesure de la résilience est effectuée à l'aide du mouton pendulaire Charpy frappant une éprouvette munie d’une entaille en forme de U ou de V. [...] L'essai, effectué à 20 °C, consiste à rompre par le choc d’un seul coup de mouton-pendule une éprouvette entaillée en son milieu et reposant sur deux appuis et à déduire la résilience de la mesure de l'énergie absorbée par la rupture. 4, record 2, French, - essai%20de%20r%C3%A9silience%20Charpy
