Experimental study on glass edge machining flaw characterization

Pieter Christian Louter, Maria Lindqvist

Knowledge of failure strength is the key to structural glass applications. However, the influence of the manufacturing process on the failure initiation at the glass edge is not well known. For this paper, small-scale glass specimens are tested in four-poi ...

Strength of glass determined by the relation of the critical flaw to the fracture mirror

Jean-Paul Lebet, Maria Lindqvist

Tensile strength of structural glass elements is highly influenced by flaws. For this paper, the study concentrates on the fracture origin i.e. the critical flaw, situated at the edge of a glass element. In the current study the influence of two different ...

Edge-strengthening of structural glass with protective coatings

Jean-Paul Lebet, Pieter Christian Louter, Maria Lindqvist

In modern buildings, glass is increasingly used as a load-carrying material in structural components, such as glass beams. For glass beams especially the edge strength of glass is important. However, the strength of glass is not a material constant but dep ...
