Modern car glazing is a prominent feature of a vehicle and a key element in design and styling with steep angles of rake, flush mounting and shapes that blend into the bodywork to improve aerodynamics and reduce wind noise. This presents a challenge to suppliers in the glass industry in terms of the achievement of more complex surface designs for windscreens together with satisfactory transmitted and reflected optical quality and performance. The optical quality of a windscreen is primarily a function of the design curvature, angle of installation and the forming method used for the bending process. The effect of design parameters and rake angle can be determined from application of the fundamental laws of optics, and finite elemental modelling techniques using numerical algorithms have been developed to simulate optical image tracing, glass forming and process manipulation. Using these techniques, guidelines for design parameters can be specified for various glass shaping and bending processes.
