Schlagfestigkeit
Explanation:
= impact resistance (Ernst).

IMO the word 'energy' is superfluous, as an impact always releases energy (which must be resisted by the glazing or shutter).

Widerstand und Aufprallenergie


Explanation:
You can't make it into one word. If it is that precise, with curves etc, "Aufprallwiderstand" may not be satisfactory. Think about "Absorption des Aufpralls", too. Googling with "Widerstand and Aufprallenergie" gives a lot of hits that might help
