In structurally complex materials like wood, the most appropriate method for studying impact bending behavior is the Charpy method in its instrumented version, with electronic devices that allow the situation of the load on the test piece and its deformation to be known step by step, with sampling frequencies of up to 1 megacycle, (Sims 1988, Blackman and Williams 1999, Tan 2000).
