The material properties of window glass are summarised in Table . To use these data to calculate a safe design load we must assign an acceptable failure probability to the window and decide on its design life. Failure could cause injury so the window is a critical component we choose a failure probability of 10-6. The vacuum system is designed for intermittent use and is seldom under vacuum for more than 1 hour so the design life under load is 1000 hours. The modulus of rupture ơr 50 MPa measures the mean strength of the glass in a short-time bending test. We shall assume that the test sample used to measure ơr had dimensions similar to that of the window otherwise a correction for volume is necessary and that the test time was 10 minutes. Then the Weibull equation eqn. for a failure probability of 10-6 requires a strength-reduction factor of . And the static fatigue equation eqn. for a design life of 1000 hours t t test 104 requires a reduction factor of . For this critical component a design stress Ơ 50 MPa X X MPa meets the requirements. We apply a further safety factor of S to allow for uncertainties in loading unforeseen variability and so on. 192 Engineering Materials 2 Pressure p Fig. . Á hemispherical pressure window. The shape means that the glass is everywhere in compression. We may now specify the dimensions of the window. Inverting eqn. gives 1 2 t i s p .
