[Catalist] Materials Science: The Science of Glass Fracture

[Michael McGarry]

Greetings Science Colleagues,

Given that Materials Science is outside the scope of current WACE ATAR Physics and Chemistry courses we could leave the study of glass/ceramic fracture to the scientists at NASA.

These URL’s show the complex physics and chemistry and mathematics of glass fracture. I briefly studied the linked webpages to delve deeper into the structure and bonding of glass.
