Frequency response control
Control of frequency response in the instrumented Charpy impact test (ICIT)
Criteria for the fracture time
A necessary requirement for accurately determining the relationship between impact load and fracture time, or deflection, is the control of the frequency response. An exact metrological measurement of the impact load (F) –time (t) signal is only possible if the experimental conditions governing the relationship between fracture time and the rise time of the electronic measurement chain are adhered to.
with
| tR | rise time of electronic measuring chain (amplifier and frequency filter) |
Criteria for frequency filtering
The condition for frequency filtering to occur is:
where
| f0.915dB | frequency at which the amplitude is 90 % | |
| f0.707dB | frequency at which the amplitude is 70 % |
| τ | period of the characteristic inertial oscillation |
Mechanical and electronic frequency filtering
Mechanical damping elements or electronic filters are used to improve the interpretability of the F–t signals; filter frequencies of 3 to 10 kHz are appropriate in relation to the fracture time.
For impact-modified, filled and reinforced plastics, filtering is unsuitable in cases where the change in crack propagation energy AR is to be considered for deriving toughness parameters. Filtering results in a quantitative distortion of AR and thus of the parameters derived from it, such as the ductility index.
