In the Charpy impact test, a notched specimen is supported as a simple beam and is fractured by a single blow. [The] standard pendulum-type Charpy impact-testing machine [is] used. .... The specimen is placed on the anvils in the horizontal position. [The] specimen is broken with a single blow delivered by the pendulum from a raised position, and the energy absorbed is read directly from the scale. 1, record 2, English, - Charpy%20impact%2Dtesting%20machine

Un essai de résilience a pour but de déterminer la ténacité d’un métal, 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. [L'appareil] utilisé est le mouton-pendule de Charpy. 4, record 2, French, - mouton%2Dpendule%20de%20Charpy

An impact test to determine the ductility of a metal; a freely swinging pendulum is allowed to strike and break a notched specimen laid loosely on a support; the work done by the pendulum is obtained by comparing the position of the pendulum before release with the position to which it swings after breaking the specimen. 3, record 3, English, - Charpy%20test

Toughness is traditionally measured using the Charpy impact test. However, modern steels are so tough that the small Charpy specimen is simply bent rather than fractured, making it difficult or impossible to characterize fracture using this test. 4, record 3, English, - Charpy%20test

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 3, French, - essai%20de%20r%C3%A9silience%20Charpy
