CROSS Safety Report: Toughened glass failures
نویسندگان
چکیده
This month's CROSS report concerns a that the glass produced by some processors has not been properly heat-soaked and is therefore much more likely to shatter in use.

Thermal shock properties of chemically toughened borosilicate glass
This paper describes an experimental test of the uni®ed theory of thermal shock. A borosilicate glass (78.1%SiO2± 13.3%B2O3±4.7%Na2O±3.4%Al2O3) subjected to ion-exchange in molten KNO3, was used. The theory predicts the critical temperature dierence for fracture initiation by thermal shock; however, it overestimates the number of cracks which propagate simultaneously. Despite that fact, taken ...
متن کاملToughened and machinable glass matrix composites reinforced with graphene and graphene-oxide nano platelets
The processing conditions for preparing well dispersed silica-graphene nanoplatelets and silica-graphene oxide nanoplatelets (GONP) composites were optimized using powder and colloidal processing routes. Fully dense silica-GONP composites with up to 2.5 vol% loading were consolidated using spark plasma sintering. The GONP aligned perpendicularly to the applied pressure during sintering. The fra...
متن کاملMicrostructural Design of Toughened Ceramics
The fracture toughness of ceramics can be improved by the incorporation of a variety of discontinuous, elastic reinforcing phases that generate a crack-bridging zone. Recent models of toughening by crack-bridging processes are discussed and used to describe the behavior observed in whisker-reinforced ceramics. The toughening response in ceramics reinforced with other types of discontinuous rein...
متن کاملUnderstanding Failures in International Safety-Critical Infrastructures: A Comparison of European and North American Power Failures
The increasing integration of safety-critical infrastructures introduces vulnerabilities that extend across international borders. On the 14th August 2003, a domino-effect disrupted the power supply to more than 50 million people across the North-Eastern United States and Canada. Consequent losses were between (US) $5-10 billion and the failure was implicated in numerous accidents. Meanwhile on...
متن کاملSession Types for Link Failures (Technical Report)
We strive to use session type technology to prove behavioural properties of fault-tolerant distributed algorithms. Session types are designed to abstractly capture the structure of (even multi-party) communication protocols. The goal of session types is the analysis and verification of the protocols’ behavioural properties. One important such property is progress, i.e., the absence of (unintend...
