Hybrid crack III

Thermal / mechanical load
Type of glass

Polished glass, rolled sheet glass, laminated glass, figured (ornamental) glass.

Examples

Diverse effect through thermal (partial shadow) and mechanical load (wind pressure) to already mechanically loaded glass (crack).

Beginning

Gentle angle of edge cracking, gentle angle of transition;

Curvy cracks of the glass edge;

Recognisable cracking centre on the free edge.

Lines of process

Mechanical beginning of cracking with the change of direction through thermal load near the cold / heat zone, later curvy forms and after as a mechanical crack from straight to angular lines, also possible distribution.

End

Straight lines;

No angles;

Can reach the edge.

Other features

Possible curvy cracks on the surface.
