Impact Strength of Glass and Glass Ceramic
Year: 2009
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: Strength of glass and glass ceramic was measured with a bar impact technique. High‐speed movies show regions of tensile and compressive failure. The borosilicate glass had a compressive strength of at least 2.2 GPa, and the glass ceramic at least 4 GPa. However, the BSG was much stronger in tension than GC. In ballistic tests, the BSG was the superior armor.
