Abstract

An impact test series is performed using an instrumented impact test method according to the standard ISO 6603. The materials tested were those most frequently used in boat-building, such as plywood, fibre-reinforced plastic, ABS (acrylonitrile/butadiene/styrene), PE (polyethylene), PC (polycarbonate) and aluminium. The impact strength of the materials is compared taking into account thickness and weight of the specimens.
