Lecture

Thermal Behavior of Glasses

Description

This lecture covers the mechanical and thermal properties of glasses, including hardness, fragility, compressive and tensile strength, thermal conductivity, and coefficient of thermal expansion. It emphasizes the poor heat conductivity of glasses, leading to little resistance to thermal shock, and discusses their behavior in comparison to wood and concrete.
