A Low Velocity Impact (LVI) Testing Machine is used to evaluate how materials and components behave when subjected to slow-speed impact loads, typically in the range of 1 to 10 m/s. These impacts often cause internal damage such as delamination, matrix cracking, and denting without complete fracture — making LVI testing critical for safety‑critical products
We have developed a Low Velocity Impact Testing Machine for MSRIT for research purposes, with specifications in accordance with ASTM D7136.
What is Low Velocity Impact Testing ?
ow Velocity Impact testing simulates reallife impact events such as : Tool drops on aircraft panels, Stone impacts on vehicle body parts, Accidental knocks during handling or maintenance and Minor crashes or luggage impacts.
Although external damage may appear minor, internal damage can be severe, especially in composite materials, leading to significant loss of structural integrity
