Influence of sample thickness, curvature and notches on the Charpy impact strength - An approach to standardise the impact strength of curved test specimens and biological structures

The specimen geometry has a significant influence on the Charpy impact strength. This is often a problem when it comes to the analysis of materials that can only be prepared with a curved shape, or which, like some biological structures, are naturally given in curved form like nutshells. The questio...
