Quickly calculate the absorbed energy during Charpy or Izod impact tests. This essential tool helps engineers and material scientists understand material toughness. Input the pendulum's initial potential energy, mass, length, and the rebound angle to determine the energy absorption for various materials, crucial for material selection and design.
Formula:
Eabsorbed = Einitial - (m * g * L * (1 - cos(θrebound)))
Where:
Eabsorbed: Absorbed Energy (Joules)
Einitial: Initial Potential Energy of Pendulum (Joules)
m: Pendulum Mass (kg)
g: Acceleration due to Gravity (9.81 m/s2)
L: Pendulum Length (m)
θrebound: Rebound Angle (degrees)
