Charpy impact test: how would you write a procedure section?

This week, we have looked at the information that goes in a procedure section, the typical language conventions that this section should follow and the importance of a good experimental figure. Now let’s consider how we would apply this to describe a real engineering experiment.

In this video, we’ll revisit the Charpy impact experiment. As you watch the video, make a note of the information you would want to include in a procedure section.

  • What information from the video would you be sure to include?
  • Is there anything in the video that wouldn’t be relevant?
  • What information do you think is missing?
  • What figures might you want to include?
