Bayshore Resilience - ASTM D2632

Purchase and download the official ASTM D2632 standard today!

Resilience is the ratio of the energy released in deformation recovery to the energy that caused the deformation. Resilience ranges from 100% for perfectly elastic materials, to 0% for perfect absorbers. Bayshore Resilience results provide an estimate of the energy-absorbing characteristics of a material.

Testing is performed by dropping a standard weight ball from a height of 16 inches onto a test specimen. The rebound height of the ball is measured.

Bayshore Resilience is calculated using the formula:
Bayshore Resilience = h₂ / h₁
where h₂ is the rebound height and h₁ is the drop height.

Property information for specific grades of resin are available in the Prospector.
