Why is some glass fragile and some strong?
Glass strength is determined by the way it is manufactured. Tempered glass, for example, is stronger than regular glass because it undergoes a process of extreme heating and rapid cooling. The cooling process compresses the outer surface, giving it increased tensile strength and making it more resistant to breakage.
Is glass stronger in tension or compression?
Glass is stronger in compression than in tension. When a tensile force is applied to glass, it is more likely to break compared to when a compressive force is applied. This is because glass is more prone to developing cracks and fractures when subjected to tension.
What is the difference between a carbon fiber and GRP?
Carbon fiber is a reinforced composite material made of carbon fibers embedded in a polymer resin matrix, known for its lightweight and strong properties. On the other hand, GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) is a composite material made of glass fibers embedded in a plastic resin matrix. The main difference lies in the type of fibers used (carbon vs. glass) and their respective properties in terms of strength, weight, and cost.
Which one is harder glass or iron?
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
When do glass breaks?
Glass breaks when it is subjected to sudden or extreme forces that exceed its tensile strength. This can be caused by impacts, thermal stress (rapid temperature changes), or bending beyond its capacity. Factors like the type of glass, its thickness, and any defects present can also influence how easily it breaks.
What is the tensile strength of glass fiber?
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.
Is epoxy stronger than concrete?
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.

An appropriate means of compressive strength and tensile of glass?

What is the shell of a F1 car made of?
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.

Which material has the highest tensile strength spider silk copper glass or plastic?
spider silk's tensile strength (per unit of density) is about ten times that of steel cable.
Can glass be sprayed to get tempered glass?
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.

How can your eye see colour?
his eyes are so beautiful like glass they reflect honesty with tensile strength of character
What is fiberglass mesh in simple terms?
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.
What is an epoxy surfboard?
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
What is the tensile strength of cotton in lbs per square inch?
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
