RUPTURE DETECTOR FOR WINDSHIELD ASSEMBLY

摘要

A rupture detector for a windshield assembly having one or multiple transparent members. The rupture detector includes a conductive member attached to a portion of the transparent member. An electrical power source in communication with the conductive member applies an electrical potential to the conductive member, and an electrical measurement mechanism is in communication with the conductive member and measures the electrical potential of the conductive member. A windshield assembly is also disclosed.
