==The Charpy test==

The term “Charpy testing” is derived from the French engineer [[Charpy, Georges|Georges Augustin Albert Charpy]]. In mechanical [[Materials Testing|materials testing]], the methods used to determine the [[Toughness|toughness]] properties of metallic and [[Polymer|polymeric]] [[Material & Werkstoff|materials]] are closely associated with his surname, both in scientific terminology and in colloquial language.

When a materials tester performs an impact or notched bar impact test in the laboratory, they often describe their activity in everyday language as performing a “Charpy test.”
