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 …

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 use of laminated glass is increasing since it is able to guarantee robustness
requirements so by improving the post-breaking characteristics of the glass. Due to the brittle …

The mechanical behaviour of laminated glass elements is governed by material properties
of the interlayer, the Polyvinyl Butiral (PVB) being the most used interlayer material in these …

Any reliable use of glass for structural purposes cannot neglect that its breakage may be
provoked by imponderable events, like impacts at critical spots or thermal shocks …

In this paper, full-scale field tests and numerical simulations are used to study the dynamic
behaviour and destruction process of the laminated glass windows under combustible gas …

Laminated glass, a composite made by bonding glass plies with polymeric interlayers, can
maintain a significant load bearing capacity even when glass is broken, because of the …

SentryGlas®(SG) laminated glass (LG) is commonly used as a load bearing material in
structural applications. Like other conventional structural materials, SG LG plates are …

The mechanical behaviour of laminated glass is strongly affected by the polymeric interlayer
placed between glass layers. In general, this interlayer is a viscoelastic material, and …
