  • Publication number: 20230286252
    Abstract: Embodiments of a vehicle interior system are disclosed. In one or more embodiments, the vehicle interior system includes a base having a curved surface, and a glass substrate. The glass substrate has a first major surface, a second major surface, a minor surface connecting the first and second major surfaces, and a thickness in a range from 0.05 mm to 2 mm. The second major surface has a first radius of curvature of 500 mm or greater. When an impactor having a mass of 6.8 kg impacts the first major surface at an impact velocity of 5.35 m/s to 6.69 m/s, the deceleration of the impactor is 120 g (g-force) or less.

  • Publication number: 20230173895
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are embodiments of a borosilicate glass composition having a unique fracture behavior. The borosilicate glass composition may be incorporated into a glass laminate including a first glass ply and a second glass ply. The second glass ply may comprise the borosilicate glass composition. The second glass ply may have a coefficient of thermal expansion of less than or equal to 5.1 ppm°/C. A combined thickness of the first glass ply and the second glass ply may be greater than or equal to 3.7 mm and less than or equal to 6.0 mm, and a ratio of the second thickness to the combined thickness is greater than or equal to 0.825. The second glass ply does not fail when the first major surface is impacted by a Vickers diamond impactor at an impact energy of 0.25 Joules.

  • Patent number: 11661022
    Abstract: A vehicle includes a body of the vehicle and a sensing system coupled to the body. The sensing system includes optical componentry and a glass material, where the glass material at least in part houses the optical componentry and the glass material is at least partially transparent to light at the wavelength of the optical componentry. Further the glass material has mechanical and performance properties that allow the sensing system to be positioned particularly low on the vehicle, at a position that may be of higher risk for damage from debris.

  • Publication number: 20220339906
    Abstract: A glass article includes a glass core layer and a glass cladding layer adjacent to the core layer. A coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of the core layer is greater than a CTE of the cladding layer. The core layer has a tensile stress, and the cladding layer has a compressive stress. A retained strength of the glass article is a strength determined after abrasion of an outer surface of the glass article with 1 mL of 90 grit SiC particles for 5 seconds at an abrasion pressure, and a ratio of the retained strength at an abrasion pressure of 25 psi to the retained strength at an abrasion pressure of 5 psi is at least about 0.3.
