---|---|
Examples |
Diverse effect through thermal (partial shadow) and mechanical load (wind pressure) to already mechanically loaded glass (crack). |
Beginning |
Gentle angle of edge cracking, gentle angle of transition; Curvy cracks of the glass edge; Recognisable cracking centre on the free edge. |
Lines of process |
Mechanical beginning of cracking with the change of direction through thermal load near the cold / heat zone, later curvy forms and after as a mechanical crack from straight to angular lines, also possible distribution. |
End |
Straight lines; No angles; Can reach the edge. |
Other features |
Possible curvy cracks on the surface. |
