2 Kinds of Glass Fractures

A
  1. Radial Fractures
  2. Concentric Fractures
84
Q

Primary fractures
Resemble spokes of wheel
Radiating outward from the point of impact

A

Radial Fractures

85
Q

Secondary Fractures
Circles around the point of impact
Connecting to one radiating crack to others

A

Concentric Fractures

86
Q

When a force pushes on one side of a plane of glass,
the elasticity of glass permits it to bend in the direction of the
force applied. Once the elastic limit is exceeded,
the glass begins to crack.

A

Breaking of Glass

87
Q

Radial cracks form a Right angle on the Reverse side of the force. Radial cracks are first
commencing on the side of the glass opposite to the destructive force. Stress lines on a concentric crack
will be at right angles to the front. Concentric cracks occur afterwards. Starting on the same side as the
line force.
