XPERIMENT PROCEDURE
The cool PVC sample (prismatic bar) should be put in the oven and be
heated up to 87 deg C. The PVC bar is easily bent when it is close to its melting
temperature, unlike when it is at room temperature.
The last experiment performed was testing the silly putty cylinder for creep.
Using a ruler and a timer we can know the deformation of the cylinder along time
as a tensile force causes tensile strain (maybe the weight of the silly putty itself,
which was what we used).

ESULT AND DISCUSSION
(iii) Report the results of the impact test for the two test
materials in a table. Compare the toughness levels and
explain the differences.
Impact Toughness
Test
BE (breaking
Material energy)
PMMA 26.368 in-lbf
Polytetrafluoroethylene 48.602 in-lbf
The impact toughness for lynon doubles that for PMMA. PMMA is a
brittle material when loaded with impact forces.
