poorly annealed glass may be highly unstable because of residual stresses and shatter from a slight shock
Useful english dictionary. 2012.
Residual stress — Residual stresses are stresses that remain after the original cause of the stresses (external forces, heat gradient) has been removed. They remain along a cross section of the component, even without the external cause. Residual stresses occur… … Wikipedia
