Molecular simulations of the strength enhancement of pre-stressed silica glass upon exposure to moisture

Molecular dynamics simulations were used to evaluate the fracture strength of pre-stressed silica glass exposed to water molecules, with and without heating. The pre-stressed wet glasses had a strength enhancement of 5–7% in comparison to the original dry glasses. Heating the glasses while pre-stres...
