Fractography of Glass

by R.C. Bradt (Editor), R.E. Tressler (Editor)

Overview

As the first major reference on glass fractography, contributors to this volume offer a comprehensive account of the fracture of glass as well as various fracture surface topography. Contributors discuss optical fibers, glass containers, and flatglass fractography. In addition, papers explore fracture origins; the growth of the original flaws of defects; and macroscopic fracture patterns from which fracture patterns evolve. This volume is complete with photographs and schematics.

Editorial Reviews

A monograph of technical articles that are organized in the way an object actually fractures. The text starts with information about fracture origins, the growth of the original flaws or defects, and the macroscopic fracture patterns that evolve. From this, both the topography of the actual fracture surface and the macrocrack pattern (at right angles) are considered. Among the specific forms of glass considered are optical fibers, fiberglass, glass containers, and flat glass. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
