How to specifically quantify the kinetic energy, impact energy and absorbed energy for composite plate subjected to impact test (Drop weight). The height is 300mm and mass is 3.5 kg. What is the difference between them?
Impact energy is a measure of the work done to fracture a test specimen. When the striker impacts the specimen, the specimen will absorb energy until it yields. At this point, the specimen will begin to undergo plastic deformation at the notch. The test specimen continues to absorb energy and work hardens at the plastic zone at the notch. When the specimen can absorb no more energy, fracture occurs. The energy that it has absorbed until it fractures, is called absorbed energy.
The kinetic energy of an object is the energy that it possesses due to its motion. It is defined as the work needed to accelerate a body of a given mass from rest to its stated velocity.
