+ | ====== The Conclusion ====== | ||
+ | |||
+ | There was not a huge difference in measured toughness of these two windows. The error bars on this experiment are quite wide, but I'd lean towards maybe window 2 being tougher. Possible reasons: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * The potassium treatment weakened window 1 | ||
+ | * The higher number of temperature cycles weakened window 1, | ||
+ | * Different sources of glass, | ||
+ | * Window 2 is thicker (approx. 14.5mm vs 17mm) | ||
+ | |||
+ | The other interesting thing is the gross failure mode. Both windows snapped pretty cleanly straight down. Neither cracked along the laminations of their composite glass sheets. This indicates good amalgamation of the layers into a solid mass. | ||
