The relationship or ratio between the energy that is returned and the energy that is impacted between a force, such as a dropped hammer, and the test specimen is known as rebound resilience. In order to determine whether your material is ready for its intended application, the energetic reaction to an impact, often caused by a hammer, is measured and then assessed in accordance with the goals and quality control requirements.

By measuring the vertical rebound of a dropped plunger with a specified mass and shape, the ASTM D2632 test determines the impact resilience of solid rubber. Then, resilience is calculated as the difference between the hammer’s drop height and rebound height. Again, variations in temperature and the depth of the plunger’s entry are sensitive to the resilience measurement.

Although ASTM D2632 is used to create and compare materials, it is frequently inapplicable to the testing of end-use performance. Additionally, it does not apply to the testing of coated fabrics or cellular rubbers, yet it is suited for those types of tests.
