The present chapter focuses on the stochastic fracture behavior of automotive windscreens by displacement-controlled impact. Windscreens are tested on a test rig with an electrical cylinder at different constant impact velocities. Windscreens in convex and concave orientation are tested and are monitored by an acoustic emission localization device to calculate the origin of fracture. Subsequently, the stochastic scatter of fracture from experiments is numerically reproduced with the stochastic fracture model. The scatter of displacement effected by the impactor until fracture and the location of fracture are compared.
