Photomultiplier tubes (PMT) used in neutrino detection experiments, are exposed to high-purity water at 14 deg C and hydrostatic pressures of around 890 KPa. This creates a unique and detrimental environment for the glass surface and mechanical behaviour. This paper discusses an applied classical molecular dynamic simulation to investigate the structural and mechanical properties for PMT glass compositions.
