Glass Fracture Patterns

Crack patterns Radial cracks are first to form. They are on the side opposite to force. Concentric cracks form second, beginning on side of force.

Determining Sequence It is possible to determine the order cracks occurred in, because new cracks stop when they hit old cracks.

Which bullet was fired first?

Determining Direction of Impact High speed projectiles like bullets often leave holes that are wider at the exit side.

What direction, and in what order?

Speed of Impact Higher speed impacts produce fewer concentric fractures than lower speed impacts.

Angle of Impact If the shooter was off to the side of the glass, a bullet will leave an oval shaped hole, with more glass missing on the side opposite the shooter. Figure 14-18 removed for copyright.

Backscatter Most glass fragments will be carried forward during impact, showing the direction force came from. Some will be projected backwards. This is backscatter, and is sometimes trace evidence found on the perpetrator.

Heat Fracture Extreme heat can break glass. It causes wavy lines, but no radial or concentric lines. Glass will tend to break toward the area of higher temperature.

Bulletproof Glass Made of two or more layers of glass, and sometimes plastic to absorb impact.

Tempered Glass Two layers of glass with plastic in middle. Designed to break into cubes to protect people from injury. Used in windshields, patio doors, etc. Harder to recognize fracture patterns.
