Izod test
Izod test: a test performed on a specimen of metallic material to evaluate resistance to failure at a discontinuity and evaluate the resistance of a comparatively brittle material during extension of a crack. The test is performed using a small bar of round or square cross- section held as a cantilevered beam in a gripping anvil of a pendulum machine. The specimen is broken by a single overload impact of the swinging pendulum, and the energy absorbed in breaking the specimen is recorded by a stop pointer moved by the pendulum.
