Micro-roughness at adhesion surface yields significant influences on the structural
behaviour of adhesive joints. Investigations into the micromechanical mechanism are …

Glass fracture is the main failure pattern of windshield laminated glass subjected to low-
velocity impact. Previous studies normally employed solid elements in conjunction with …

The interfacial adhesion between the interlayer and glass plays a vital role in determining
the safety and post-fracture behavior of PVB-laminated glass. To get a better understanding …

In a frontal pedestrian–vehicle collision, the head of an adult pedestrian normally impacts
the windshield region of a vehicle, which is the main source of severe head injury. The …

Local bridging ability between fragments including bridging force and adhesion concerns
the post-fracture performance of laminated glass (LG). Weathering actions such as heat and …

Discrete element (DE) model has a great feasibility in modelling the microstructural
behaviours of adhesive composite joints. However, it demands a sophisticated calibration …

Ionomer, which has significant dependency on temperature, strain rate and time, is widely
used in structural laminated glass to achieve strong adhesion and high shear transferring …

This paper presents a novel numerical model for the mechanical behavior of laminated
glass structures. The numerical model is designed as the multiscale numerical approach …

The fragments expansion behaviour of thermally tempered glass (TTG) at fracture, can result
in the secondary effects that facilitate the fracture or buckling risks of structural glass …

Surface roughness of adherends is a crucial factor in determining the performance and
failure mechanism of adhesive joints. However, the research dedicated to the examination of …
