Detection of Tensile Stresses Near Edges of Laminated and Tempered Glass

In both tempered and laminated glass, manufacturing processes introduce residual stresses that develop during cooling, bending and lamination. Local surface tension can develop near the edges, making the glass vulnerable to cracks and failure. Methods of locating and measuring these tensile stresses are discussed and their effectiveness evaluated.
