Kurzbeschreibung
This first book to discuss the correlation between the performance of industrial processes and practice-relevant properties adopts an interdisciplinary approach to cover both the science and technology. Properties covered include mechanical strength and contact resistance, ageing, mechanics of glass processes, residual stresses, while the applications include glazing, packaging, optical glass, glass fibers for reinforcement, and abrasive tools.
