Abstract
The present paper develops and validates a 3D model for the simulation of glass tempering. It is assembled
from well-known models of temperature dependent viscoelasticity and structural relaxation and
predicts both transient and steady-state stresses in complex 3D glass geometries. The theory and implementation
of the model is comprehensively given and the model is carefully checked and validated. It is
demonstrated that by adjusting a single parameter in the model, experimental results can be replicated
accurately even for cooling rates far from normal.
