Thermally Curved Glass - Research and Standardisation of the Four-Point Bending Test

Research has shown that the general approach to determine the bending strength of thermally curved glass with the aid of the four-point bending test for flat glass according to EN 1288-3 is applicable. At the moment, however, there is no statutory method available for directly extrapolating the bre...
