Zusammenfassung:A discussion is presented of the forensic interpretation of annealed glass fracture. The processes of glass fracture are given, the nature and formation of glass as a brittle isotropic solid is discussed, and the mechanical strength of glass is considered in terms of its atomic bond strengths and external flaws. Major modern theories of glass fracture propagation are reviewed, and the relationships of stress conditions to fracture surface properties are developed.
