Hollow particle (microballoon) filled polymeric composites, called syntactic foams, are tested for impact properties in the present work. Izod type pendulum impact testing is carried out on eight types of foams, which are made of four types of microballoons used in volume fractions of 0.5 and 0.6. Variation in the volume fraction of microballoons leads to a difference in the total energy absorbed during fracture of different types of foams. Results show that syntactic foams containing microballoons of lower density show lower impact strength because of the lower strength of these microballoons. An increase in microballoon volume fraction leads to decreased energy absorption and strength.

The impact performance of ZnAl27Cu2.5MgMn alloy from room Temperature to 2500 °C has been investigated by pendulum impact testing. The surface morphology of impact fracture is observed by scan electron microscope (SEM). The results indicate that impact energy of the alloy decreases as the temperature increases when the temperatures are lower than 100°C. Between 100°C and 200°C, impact energy increases as the temperature increases. And when the temperature exceeds 250°C, impact energy decreases dramatically. Impact energy gets to the maximum at room temperature. Impact behavior of the alloy can be evaluated by the width of impact spectrum curve. The wider the peak of impact spectrum curve, the higher the impact toughness. Whereas impact toughness is worse if peak is narrow.

N80 waterproof casing is a kind of important equipment in petroleum drilling. In order to analyze the mechanical features of the N80 casing, we used pendulum impact testing machine to test the shock resistance of N80 casing. And we have analyzed and eliminated the errors which may affect the result of the impact test to ensure the reliability. At the same time, it summed up the causes of errors and the methods to avoid and reduce the errors during the pendulum impact test, and analyzed the sample selection method, the chosen of impact surface, the structure as well as the temperature influence, shape and other factors which influenced the measurement results.

<p class="Abstract">The aim of this research is to analyze the effect of Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles as resin concentrate on mechanical strength. The tested mechanical strength is Bending strength, Impact Strength, and Microhardenest Strength. The types of resin used in this study were acrylic resin without conventional modification and acrylic resin with an additional 0.01 gr and 0.06 gr of TiO2. Specimen dimensions are made revered to ISO 20795-1 (2008) standard specifications. Mechanical strength was determined by using the universal testing machine, Izod pendulum impact testing machine, and also Vickers microhardness tester. From the analysis, the researcher found that the bending strength of resin acrylic was greatly decreased by increasing the TiO2 concentration. It happens in both TiO2 0.01gr and 0.06gr of acrylic resin compared to the non TiO2 resin. The impact strength of 0.01gr TiO2 acrylic resin was significantly increased compared to non TiO2 acrylic resin. But on the other hand for 0.06gr acrylic resin, impact strength was decreased and recorded the lowest impact strength. The highest Micro hardness strength was found in 0.06gr TiO2, It is significantly increased compared to 0.01gr TiO2 and 0gr TiO2. The general conclusion is, adding 0.01gr TiO2 nanoparticles as concentrated into acrylic resin can significantly increase the bending strength, bending strength, and microhardness strength. Meanwhile, adding 0.06gr Tio2 nanoparticles as concentrated into acrylic resin can only increase the bending strength and the microhardness strength, but not for its impact strength.</p>
