Abstract

In everyday use glass materials cause a lot of damage or injuries when broken, as fracture mechanism and damage runoff cannot be predicted precisely. To gain knowledge on this issue, we studied the properties of tempered glass. The glass test samples were exposed to two types of destructive evaluations: normal and high temperature three-point bending and room temperature dynamic experiments with colliding small steel spheres. The evaluation showed that high temperature experiments are in correlation with sharp fracture edges, and dynamic impact creates shell featured circular crack propagation which prevents the spreading of the radial cracks, so the damage is concentrated to a small area.
