On the Mohs hardness scale glass is harder than steel. Mohs hardness tests the ability of one material to scratch another. Steel is rated 4 to 4.5 and glass is rated at 6 to 7. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohs_scale_of_mineral_hardness Glass is harder than steel, but it is more fragile and will break much easier. There are many different ways to measure strength. Here is a wikipedia article about the strength of materials: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strength_of_materials
No. An optical fiber is a slim hair composed of glass. Glass is a fine insulator, and an optical fiber doesn't conduct electricity at all.
Fiber glass is stands of glass that comes in many forms. You can use it for vehicle hoods/parts, it is in some fabrics from earlier days, and it is also in insulation.

The compressive strength of bricks varies depending on the type of bricks and what they are used for. The compressive strength of conventional red bricks is 40 to 65 Kg/cm2. In comparison, flyash bricks have a compressive strength of 70 to 120 Kg/cm2.

Yes it is. Concrete has almost no tensile strength on its own, which is why some form of reinforcement is used. Generally re-bar, steel shake, or fiber glass is used to improve and reinforce concrete. Epoxy has a tensile strength of at least 2,400 psi. The compressive strength is almost 10,000 psi. If you are looking for epoxy work in either a residential or commercial setting please visit hooverwells.com
Carbon fibre has a high tensile strength, meaning that is can flex but maintain it's strength without snapping into pieces and it has a very low density. So it is due to lightness and strength which is vital for F1.
No.
spider silk's tensile strength (per unit of density) is about ten times that of steel cable.
Um NO you temper glass the same as you temper any thing else. You have to heat it up. it cant be cut after it has been temoerd either. Cross section of glass has two areas, compressive strength area and tensile strength area. When glass is heated above 600 degree and fast cooled, the compressive strength area expands. Since glass has more compressive strength than tensile strength, it becomes difficult to break it. Tempered glass, especially toughened glasses are 4 to 5 times stronger than normal glass. These glasses break into small circular fragments. Normal glass breaks into sharp pieces and is a safety hazard.

his eyes are so beautiful like glass they reflect honesty with tensile strength of character
Fiberglass Mesh is also known as fiberglass cloth. It is generally made of filamentary plastic coating glass fiber yarn. This product is known to have a high alkali-resistance quality and high tensile strength.
an epoxy surfboard is when a surfboard is made out of epoxy resin this is more stronger and lighter than the normal fiber glass and they can have more stronger colours than fiber glass this can be done without the silk laminating process
If fiberglass is layed up in one direction only (unidirectional) its strength is greater than 100,000 psi for E glass and 250,000 psi for S glass. If layed up in cross plies like fiberglass cloth (G10) strength in tension is about 40,000 psi
glass has a low elactisity (if thats spell right) strength, whcih means when its pushed, like someones thrown a ball at it, it will bend only a little bit, because glass has high tensile strength, it means that the force on the glass will overcome the tensility and the glass will then rely on the electisity to keep it in shape, but it wont keep in shape, thats when u get a crack. plastic though, has very high elactisity strength, so when the tensility is overcomed by theforce, the stretchiness of the plastic wont let it snap or be pierec, it will deform, but wont come loose, thats why car windows have plastic between two sheets of glass as the plasticcan take the 'bend'
