Conclusions

1. The proposed experimental method makes it feasible to perform a sufficiently accurate comparative analysis of products obtained by different technological processes.

2. The test results pertaining to strength and deformation characteristics of complete glass-plastic shells are in a sufficiently close agreement with data obtained in testing cut specimens.

3. Application of this method to an evaluation of the characteristics of vacuum hardened glass-plastics made of various component materials has demonstrated the advantages of this particular technological process.
