A temperature and strain rates dependent fracture model is developed based on Weibull statistics to quantitatively describe the brittle-ductile transition of glass fracture in precision glass molding process. Under the assistance of FEM simulation, this fracture model can be used to calculate the fracture probability of glass during the precision glass molding process. Meanwhile, the most probable fracture timing, location of fracture initiation and fracture pattern can be also predicted.
