Strengthened Silicate Glasses by Residual Stress: Depth of Compression and Surface Flaws Stability Conditions

The application of silicate glasses in severe service environments requires a precise evaluation of structural strength under mechanical loads and surface tribological conditions.

The application of silicate glasses in severe service environments requires a precise evaluation of structural strength under mechanical loads and surface tribological conditions. Because glass strength is governed by surface flaws and microcracks rather than being an intrinsic…
