Zusammenfassung:	An apparatus for testing the edge strength of a discrete sheet of material such as glass where the sheet has an irregular free-form shaped outline is disclosed. The apparatus can include a plurality of assemblies configured for selectively applying a 3-point bending load on an edge of the sheet of material in a test region of the apparatus, a detection mechanism that optically measures strain in the sheet of material in the region, and a processor that determines the stress in the sheet based on the measured strain by calculating the stress that would be required to produce the measured strain in the sheet of material.
