Exploring Thin Glass Strength Test Methodologies

Thin glass is currently widespread in mobile devices and has great potential for applications in buildings. However, presently there is no standard method to determine the strength of thin glass for building applications and there is little experimental data available on its mechanical behaviour. H...

description Thin glass is currently widespread in mobile devices and has great potential for applications in buildings.
