Charpy Impact Testing
Energy absorbed versus temperature for a steel
in annealed and in quenched and tempered
states. (Adapted with permission from J. C.
Miguez Suarez and K. K. Chawla, Metalurgia-
ABM, 34 (1978) 825.)
Energy Absorbed vs. Temperature
Effect of temperature on the morphology of fracture surface
of Charpy steel specimen. Test temperatures Ta < Tb < Tc <
Td. (a) Fully brittle fracture. (b, c) Mixed-mode fractures. (d)
Fully ductile (fibrous) fracture.
Temperature Effect on Fracture Appearance
Energy absorbed, cleavage area ,and lateral
expansion as a function of temperature of
testing for AISI 1018 steel (cold drawn).
Charpy Testing of Steel: DBTT
Charpy V-notch curve for a pressure-vessel steel.
Note that the NDT temperature determined by the
drop-weight test corresponds to the high-toughness
region of the Charpy curve. Pneumatic
pressurization; material: 21/4 Cr-1 Mo steel, yield
stress 590 MPa. (After W. J. Langford, Can. Met.
Quart., 19 (1980) 13.)

Drop-Weight Test Specimen
Impact velocity and impact force
• During drop weight impact, tup’s gravitational potential energy
is converted to kinetic energy. Conservation of energy as a tool
permits the calculation of the velocity just before it hits the
surface.

Average impact force x distance travelled = change in kinetic energy

Tensile Impact
The tensile impact test is a unique test. It is the extensional answer to
crashworthiness. Characterized by gross and fast fibre pull out and interfacial
Fracture, it is very dependent on the interfacial shear stress in UD conditions !
SMC 4133 AUTOMOTIVE STRUCTURES
DESIGN FOR CRASHWORTHINESS
- The main function of the body structure is to protect occupants in a collision
- There are many standard crash tests and performance levels
- For the USA, these standards are contained in Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standards (FMVSS)
- They are FMVSS 208 (front), 214 (side), 301 (rear) and 216 (roof)

SMC 4133 AUTOMOTIVE STRUCTURES
DESIGN FOR CRASHWORTHINESS
• The insurance industry & consumer groups have their own test standard to
evaluate vehicles beyond government standards
• For instance, the New Car Assessment Program (NCAP)
• It is based on the probability of injury; measured with a star rating where
the five stars indicate lower probability of injury and vice-versa

FRONT BARRIER
• Is a condition of a moving vehicle crashes onto a rigid barrier at a front end
• Let’s model the frontal impact with a point mass
t = 0 t = 0, dx/dt = V0 t = 0, x = 0
dx/dt = 0
Resulting behavior of
the point mass model
The crush efficiency factor is used to consider
non-uniform crash force properties

DESIGN FOR CRASHWORTHINESS
The crush efficiency factor is used to consider non-uniform crash force
properties
• When crush factor approaching 1, it
indicates the lower the head injury
• When designing the collapsed structure
of the motor compartment, it is desirable
to have a square wave shape
All materials in this slide are taken from Donald E Malen. 2011. Fundamentals of Automobile Body Structure Design, SAE International.
SMC 4133 AUTOMOTIVE STRUCTURES
DESIGN FOR CRASHWORTHINESS
Procedure for establishing Front body structural requirements:
1. Maximum allowable cabin decelerations based on occupant injury
2. Consistent structural efficiency and crush space
3. Average and maximum allowable crush forces
4. Total crush forces to be used in the structural elements
Crush force:
10% - hood & fender
20% - lower cradle
50% - mid-rail
20% - top of fender
The front end elements are sized to ensure that the cabin zone won’t be intruded

Vehicle pitch during impact
- Some vehicles rotate/pitch upon crash with a fixed barrier
- It can increase the possibility of neck injuries
- To reduce pitching, crushable beam is introduced

DESIGN FOR CRASHWORTHINESS
Side impact
- Plays an important role in sizing vehicle structure
- FMVSS requires a minimum injury performance while NCAP uses star
scale
- The injury criterion is TTI index where the larger values indicate a more
severe injury
- TTI < 57 in desirable

Impact and Shock Loading in Engineering Failure analysis
BIRD HITS ARE SINGLE POINT IMPACTS
WITH OUT A SUPPORTED LOADING. THE
RELATIVE VELOCITIES CAN BE VERY HIGH
TO CAUSE A SEVERE DAMGE ON ENGINES.
Shock and Vibration Testing
3/17/2023 27
Thermal Shock Test (JESD22 –
A106B)
• Purpose of this test is to determine the resistance of the part to
sudden exposures of extreme changes in temperature and alternate
exposures to these extremes as well as its ability to withstand cyclical
stresses
• Here the IC packages are baked in an oven for 125ºC/24 Hrs and the
temperature is spiked to 260ºC for lead free product and 240ºC for
leaded product for 5 to 10 minutes.
• If the baking temperature is higher than the glass transition
temperature at this extreme heat the package tends to delaminate or
fail. This failure or delamination can be viewed using SAM (Scanning
Acoustic Microscopy)

Vibration and Shock
Sine Vibration
From rotating or oscillating
machinery; electric motors,
wheels, engines, gears, springs.
Useful for evaluating dynamic
characteristics of structures, i.e
resonance
Random Vibration
More accurately represents the
true environment.
Excites all frequencies
Most damage occurs at
fundamental frequency
of electronics PCB.
Vibration and Shock
 Shock
 High stresses causing fracture or permanent deformation
 High accelerations which can cause relays to chatter, potentiometers to slip, bolts
to loosen.
 High displacement which can cause impact between adjacent circuit boards
 Usually not considered a fatigue failure if shock quantity less than 1,000 cycles.
Selecting a Vibration Level or a Shock Pulse
 Which Shock Pulse should I Apply?
 How Many?
 Which Level?
 What is the vibration spectrum of interest?
 How long should I test for?
1. Follow the Contract Specifications
2. Create Your Test Based on Existing Specifications as Guidance
3. Make Field Measurements
