Abstract
This paper reports on the evaluation of a range of polymeric materials as to their crack resistance to impact loadings. On-specimen sensors are used to study the variations of impact stresses induced in different parts of the specimen for the high impact velocities used. These test data have large oscillatory transient forces present that much influence and sometimes dominate crack initiation and propagation. Under these conditions, the forces acting on the crack initiation site can be significantly different to those seen by sensors placed in the striker or support points for the specimen.
