Fracture

Fracture is the appearance of a crack or complete separation of an object or material into two or more pieces under the action of stress.

See Thermal fracturing in glass and Fracture

Glass

Glass is an amorphous (non-crystalline) solid.

See Thermal fracturing in glass and Glass

Shadow

A shadow is a dark area where light from a light source is blocked by an object.

See Thermal fracturing in glass and Shadow

Solar irradiance

Solar irradiance is the power per unit area (surface power density) received from the Sun in the form of electromagnetic radiation in the wavelength range of the measuring instrument.

See Thermal fracturing in glass and Solar irradiance

Space heater

A space heater is a device used to heat a single, small- to medium-sized area.

See Thermal fracturing in glass and Space heater

Temperature gradient

A temperature gradient is a physical quantity that describes in which direction and at what rate the temperature changes the most rapidly around a particular location.

See Thermal fracturing in glass and Temperature gradient

Thermal expansion

Thermal expansion is the tendency of matter to increase in length, area, or volume, changing its size and density, in response to an increase in temperature (usually excluding phase transitions).

See Thermal fracturing in glass and Thermal expansion

Thermal stress

In mechanics and thermodynamics, thermal stress is mechanical stress created by any change in temperature of a material.
