Abstract
The fracture behaviour of glass concerns scientists all over the world since decades. As glass is considered a brittle material, the strength of glass is typically described by the Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics (LEFM). First pioneering work within fracture mechanics of glass was conducted by Griffith in 1920 (Griffith, 1921). Since then numerous authors have contributed to analysing the fracture structure of glass.
