Shattering occurs when internal stress overcomes a material’s structural integrity, causing it to break apart spontaneously or upon minor impact. This principle is engineered into safety glass, which fractures into granular chunks rather than sharp shards, reducing injury risk. Automotive, architectural, and consumer electronics industries benefit from this controlled fracture mechanism for enhanced safety and security.
