As a typical type of brittle material, glass has draw much attention on its mechanical properties when it is used in areas of building curtain wall, windshield and side window of airplane/highspeed rail/bus, pressure window, ram engine cover, etc. At present, the research on glass resistance to uniform load mainly involves: (1) Exploring the methods to characterize the glass resistance to uniform load, such as deflection, strain rate, tensile stress and static pressure strength, etc. However, unified evaluation method has not been established yet. (2) Using calculation software, such as Ansys, to simulate glass resistance to uniform load, which can not only provide performance evaluation basis for glass component design, but also avoid destructive test. Based on the two research hotspots above, the research progress on glass resistance to uniform load was summarized, and its development trend was prospected.
