GLASS…AN AMORPHOUS SOLID• Physical Properties: hard, elastic, brittle, non-
conductor of electricity, density, refractive index.
• Main component is silicon dioxide (SiO2)
• Also called silica or sand
• Different types of glass are made by adding different metals such as (Na, Ca, Mg, & Al) and other compounds

TYPES OF GLASS• Soda lime glass—glass bottles & windows
• Sodium carbonate (Na2CO3)—lowers viscosity and melting point
• Calcium oxide (CaO)

TYPES OF GLASS• Pyrex—aka Borosilicate Glass
• Boron oxide (B2O3) is added to resist breaking when heated and cooled (expands and contracts)

TYPES OF GLASS• Colored glass
• Add metal oxides or colloidal iron (Fe) & sulfur (S) to change color
• Eyeglasses
• Add potassium oxide (K2O)
• Adds hardness to the glass

TYPES OF GLASS• Flat glass—made by a “float glass process”• Molten glass is floated on a pool of tin while cooling
• Commonly found in doors and windows

• Laminated glass—made by placing a sheet of plastic in between two sheets of glass• Found in windshields—holds together when broken

• Tempered glass—made by using a rapid heating and cooling process• Found in car side windows, breaks into tiny pieces

• Bullet proof glass—made from a combination of two or more types of glass (one hard, one soft)• Softer layer makes it more elastic so it stretches
instead of shattering

HOW DOES GLASS BREAK?• Each force causes a deformation
that may leave a visible mark or fracture the glass. These markings can be used to determine• Direction of the force, amount of
force applied, sequence of impacts
• Glass acts as an elastic surface and bends away when an initial force is applied. When the force increases beyond its tensile strength, it CRACKS

FRACTURE PATTERNS OF GLASS• There are two types of
fracture patterns:
• Radial cracks—form FIRST and span out in short (spider-like) segments on the OPPOSITE side of the force
• Concentric cracks—come SECOND on the SAME side as the force applied

HEAT FRACTURES
• No point of impact
• Curved or wavy fractures
• Smooth edges at break points

BULLET FRACTURES• Bullets are a projectile force
that can pass through glass• EXIT side of a bullet fracture is
WIDER than then entry side
• As bullet velocity increases, central hole becomes smaller & cracking patterns become simpler

WHICH BULLET HOLE CAME FIRST?• The sequence of bullet holes can be determined
by looking a the radial fractures
• Radial cracks end/are stopped by earlier cracks
B was shot first because
the radial lines of A
terminate into the radial lines of B

WHICH HOLE WAS SHOT FIRST?

1. Identify and photograph any glass samples before moving them.
2. Collect the largest fragments that can be reasonably collected.
3. Identify the outside and inside surface of any glass. 4. If multiple panes are involved, make a diagram. 5. Note trace evidence such as skin, hair, blood, or
fibers. 6. Package all materials collected to maintain the
chain of custody.
COLLECTION OF GLASS SAMPLES
![Page 21: Test Friday!!! FORENSIC ANALYSIS OF GLASS. GLASS…AN AMORPHOUS SOLID Physical Properties: hard, elastic, brittle, non- conductor of electricity, density,](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649e465503460f94b3b129/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
COLLECTION OF GLASS SAMPLES
7. The glass fragments should be packaged in boxes to avoid further breakage.
8. If evidence is to be examined for glass fragments, it should be taken whole and each item individually wrapped in paper and boxed.
9. If even the remotest possibility exists that glass fragments may be pieced together, every effort must be made to collect all glass fragments.
10. Submit glass evidence along with a representative sample of each type of glass from the crime scene.
