Low Velocity Impact Testing Machines
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
