A thermally tempered glass has strong resistance for the surface crack, because the residual compressive stress exists near the surface of the glass. On the other hand, it also has the residual tensile stress in the center of the glass. Fracture behavior of the thermally tempered glass depends on the distribution of the residual stress. However, it is very difficult to clarify those relationships by an experiment. In this paper, the thermally tempered glass model using the Extended Distinct Element Method (EDEM) is proposed. Using our proposed model, the impact fracture behavior and the crack velocity are evaluated. From results for the normal glass and tempered glass, it is confirmed that the distribution of residual stresses can be evaluated by the thermally tempered glass model and the thermally tempered glass model is broken to many pieces by the residual tensile stress as well as experimental results. Furthermore, it is found that residual stresses of the tempered glass greatly influence the crack velocity.
