Abstract: criterium is derived to understand the relevance of thermal effects resulting from high rate mechanical actions on glass surface. The criterium is based on the concept of characteristic
Contact damage of glass is one of the most crucial issues for glass products. To develop strong and tough glass products and to compare damage resistance among glass compositions, a
Advances in glass compositions, including rare-earth doping and low-melting-point oxides, further optimize photon absorption and conversion processes. In addition, luminescent solar
Structural and topological aspects of the mechanical properties of glass Outline 1. Why indentation ? 2. Some relations between composition and indentation fracture of glass 3. Indentation
Indentation induces high pressure levels which are responsible for the alteration of the physical properties of the glass in a region beneath the indent. This makes the establishment of a pertinent
The current study investigates the mechanical behavior of two different solar surface glasses through a series of low and high load indentation and scratch experiments.
The effect of composition in various glass systems such as chalcogenides, phosphates, silicates, and silicon oxynitrides, on hardness are discussed. Different microcrack patterns that occur during
The indentation test is one solution to model cracking in glass, and the size of indentation-induced crack in glass is considered one measure of brittleness in glass.1) When the indentation test using a sharp
