Reference for shear modulus vs temperature of glass?

[somedaysgeek]

Homework Statement

I'm doing some preliminary research for a potential IB extended essay topic. It involves thermal stresses in fused glass; details aren't that important right now.

But I need to find a table, equation, or SOME sort of reference that gives me the relationship between the temperature of glass and its shear modulus. Does anyone have a clue where I could find such a thing?

Even approximate values, a simplified equation, or a possible source would be appreciated.

Homework Equations

Shear modulus = (shear stress) / (shear strain)

The Attempt at a Solution

Google has failed me after an extensive search, sadly. I've tried looked through the library as well, but met with no success (probably because I don't know where to start).

PS. First post; apologies if this is not the right forum.

Hello,

I understand the importance of finding accurate and reliable information for research purposes. I would suggest starting your search by looking at scientific journals and articles related to thermal stresses in glass. Specifically, you can look for studies that have measured the shear modulus of fused glass at different temperatures.

One possible source for this information could be the Journal of Non-Crystalline Solids, which often publishes articles on glass properties and behavior. You can also try searching through databases such as Scopus or Web of Science for relevant articles.

Additionally, you can try contacting researchers or experts in the field of glass science and engineering. They may be able to provide you with more specific information or direct you to relevant resources.

In terms of an equation or table, it may be difficult to find a direct relationship between temperature and shear modulus for fused glass. This is because the shear modulus of glass can vary depending on factors such as composition, processing, and microstructure. However, by gathering data from multiple sources, you may be able to approximate a relationship or identify any trends in the data.

I hope this helps and good luck with your extended essay topic!
