4. Fatigue
   Permanent structural change that occurs in a material subjected to fluctuating Stress and strain. However, in the case of glass, fatigue is determined by long-term static testing and is analogous to Stress rupture in other materials. In general, fatigue failure can occur with Stress levels below the elastic limit.
