Strain rebound and inhomogeneity in glass-to-metal seals: Radial vs axial strain evolution by Keqian Gong, Zheng Liu, Zifeng Song, Chao Zhou, Zhangjing Shi, Siyue Nie, Weisong Zhou, He Yan, Zhichun Fan, Yong Zhang

“…Despite extensive studies on residual stress/strain in sealing glass, critical gaps remain in decoupling directional strains and understanding their in situ evolution during the cooling process, especially with respect to their microstructural origins. This study employs advanced fiber Bragg grating (FBG) in situ monitoring to decouple and independently analyze radial and axial strain evolution, providing novel insights into the mechanical anisotropy of sealing glass. …”
