Study on Characterisation and Property of Local Sand

Glass is an amorphous solid. They are low tensile strength and brittle so that fracture occurs suddenly due to structure, manufacturing process, and properties, without prior plastic deformation. They often fail at a sudden temperature change. The objective is to study on local sand property when ex...
