Experimental study on mechanical behavior of PVB laminated glass under quasi-static and dynamic loadings

A three-dimensional computational framework for impact fracture analysis of automotive laminated glass

“…Up to now, both laboratory experiments and numerical simulations have been carried out to investigate the mechanical properties of laminated glass. Xu et al [3,4] conducted a series of experiments of laminated glass including quasi-static and dynamic tests. Specifically, the impact fracture behaviours such as the propagations of radial and circular cracks of laminated glass under dynamic loading were intensively studied by using a drop-weight device combined with a high-speed photography device [4].…”

Analytical approach à la Newmark for curved laminated glass

“…Thus, the flexural performance is intermediate between the two borderline cases [18,19] of monolithic limit (shear-rigid bonding of the glass plies) and layered limit (free-sliding glass plies). Since stress and strain are much lower in the monolithic than in the layered limit, to avoid redundant design a large number of theoretical studies have been performed [20e25], corroborated by a wealth of experimental activity [26,14,27,28]. Several practical methods to readily calculate the response of laminated glass structures, such as those by Refs.…”

Experimental Vibration Analysis of a Cracked Laminated Glass Beam with Bolted Joint

“…Mechanical properties of the bolt are as follows: modulus of elasticity, E bolt = 200 GPa; Poisson's ratio,  bolt = 0.29 and density,  bolt = 7.89 g/cm 3 . During the fixation to a hole of 6 mm in diameter, two rubber ring joints are also used.…”

“…For the former condition, crack branching increases with increasing quasi-static loading rate. And for the later condition, steady-state cracking speed of PVB laminated glass is lower than that of pure glass [2,3].…”
