Mechanical strokes
Examples and descriptions of mechanical glass breaks are provided below.
It is not possible to cover the break views of all surfaces. Time after time, depending upon the type of glass, the type of load, strength and affect time, varied breakages of the surface and the break views occur. But they are very similar to the submitted samples. Due to many reasons and varied factors, it is not always possible to determine the precise and accurate reason of the glass fragmentation. In most cases, sufficient expierence of the expertise performance and even complicated laboratory research are necessary.
