By Eric Le Bourhis

This can be the 1st ebook to debate the correlation among the functionality of business methods and practice-relevant homes, similar to energy and optical homes. Interdisciplinary in his process, the writer discusses either the technological know-how and know-how, beginning with glass earlier and current, its constitution, and rheology. The sections on homes contain mechanical power and call resistance, getting older, mechanics of glass tactics, the creation and keep an eye on of residual stresses, high-tech manufacturers and present learn and improvement. functions coated comprise glazing, packaging, optical glass, glass fibers for reinforcement, and abrasive instruments.

The example of selection according to transparency is an archetype. Let us consider a more realistic selection of a glass according to more quantitative properties. As 13 14 2 Glass, A Ceramic Material Fig. 7 Transparency–cost chart (obtained from CES 4, Granta Design, Ashby, 2001). discussed in detail in Chapter 6, viscosity is one of the most important properties from the process point of view since it controls the stresses and strains to be applied to form the glass. The selection will then be according to the process requirements that set such a parameter (the viscosity in this case) at a given temperature.

Tempered glazings offer more mechanical resistance and eventually break into small harmless pieces (Chapters 7 and 8). For very high strength levels required for airplanes and trains, chemically tempered glazings are preferred.
