Glass has been overwhelmingly used for windows and facades in modern constructions, for
many practical reasons, including thermal, energy, light and aesthetics. Nevertheless, due to …

Laminated glass is a simple sandwiched composite structure, while being widely used in the
automotive industry as windshield glazings. It is considered to be safety glass due to its …

Automotive laminated glass is normally comprised of two soda-lime glass sheets bonded
with one plastic interlayer, polyvinyl butyral (PVB). Glass-ply cracking is the principal …

The subject of the paper is modelling of complex damage behaviour of laminated glass,
which is a sandwiched polymer composite. Last 20 years have witnessed extensive growth …

The designed fracture of laminated glass (LG) makes it useful for architectural, glazing,
automotive safety, photovoltaic, ultraviolet ray protection, and decorative applications. The …

The research presented herein aimed to simulate the structural behavior of laminated glass
with all the glass layers broken, by means of the discrete element modeling. This paper …

The research has tackled thermal cracking distress in glass from a design perspective. The
paper addresses a novel modeling framework, and provides closed-form solutions to predict …

The present work includes fracture and adhesion testing of laminated glasses (LGs) with
different inter-layers (Polyvinyl butyral (PVB), Ethyl vinyl acetate (EVA)) and their different …

Novel ionomer-laminated glass is popularly adopted as facades or structural elements due
to its optical clarity and excellent load-bearing capacity. To better understand the behavior …

This paper investigates the influence of interlayer properties on the blast performance of
laminated glass (LG) panels. A parametric study is carried out by varying the thickness and …
