Glass Strength and Toughness (Lecture 28, Glass Science)

Covers fundamentals of glass strength and fracture toughness, brittle vs. ductile failure, the Orowan ideal strength of a brittle materials, Inglis criterion for failure, Griffith flaw analysis, stress intensity factor, Weibull distribution, fractography, and strength measurements, including three-point bending, four-point bending, ring-on-ring testing, and ball drop tests.
