Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleStrengthening of Laminated Glass Windows against Windborne Debris ImpactXihong Zhang, Qingfei Meng, Chiara Bedon, Piotr W. SielickiThis paper presents numerical modelling to study potential mitigation methods to improve the impact resistance performance of laminated glass windows against timber windborne debris impact. A detailed numerical model of laminated glass window is generated and validated with laboratory impact tests. The influence of supporting frames made of different stiffness materials is examined. Numerical simulation shows that boundary condition has … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 16 Nov 2020 · 6,883 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleUsing a Hierarchical Weibull model to Predict Failure Strength of Different Glass Edge ProfilesDavid Thomas Kinsella, Johan LindströmThe edge strength of glass is analyzed using a Weibull statistical framework based on 78 data samples from a range of experiments recorded in literature. Based on the analysis, a 45 MPa strength value (computed as the lower bound in a one-sided confidence interval at the 75% level for the 5-percentile in the distribution) could be conservatively used with arrised, … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 30 Apr 2020 · 8,274 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleBasis of Guidelines for Structural Design and Thermal Assessment of Buildings with Hybrid CLT-Glass ElementsNikola Perković, Vlatka Rajčić, Chiara Bedon et al.Facade elements are known to represent a building component with multiple performance parameters to satisfy. Among others, “advanced facades” take advantage from hybrid solutions, like the assemblage of laminated materials. In addition to enhanced mechanical properties that are typical of optimally composed hybrid structural components, these systems are energy efficient, durable and offer lightening comfort and optimal thermal performance. This … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 9 Apr 2020 · 6,969 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleTime-Temperature Dependency of Laminated Glass Subjected to Blast Load – A Numerical StudyMatthias FörchThe behavior of laminated glass has strong time-temperature dependency. Viscoelastic material models are often employed to define mechanical properties of Polyvinyl Butyral (PVB), the most common interlayer for structural glass applications. However, it is an apparent notion to simplify the high complexity of such material models, as only specific software is capable of considering this behavior. Most studies in blast … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 18 Mar 2020 · 7,676 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleFire Resistance Testing of a Timber-Glass Composite BeamJohan Sjöström, Marcin Kozłowski, Daniel Honfi et al.Glass structures have been increasingly utilised in modern construction for decades with load-bearing walls or facades as the most common elements. However, the use of glass beams has recently been given more attention but its application as load-bearing elements has been limited by the low tensile resistance, its brittle behaviour during failure and concerns of its performance in case of … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 27 Jan 2020 · 10,828 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSpectral and Luminescence Properties of Manganese Doped Sodium Lead Alumino Borosilicate Glass SystemK. Vijaya Babu, A. Subba Rao, K. Naresh Kumar, M. Venugopala RaoNa2O-PbO-Al2O3-B2O3-SiO2 glasses mixed with different concentrations of MnO (ranging from 0.3 to 0.9 mol %) was prepared by melt quenching technique. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction technique, Optical absorption and Photo luminescence technique. A prepared glass sample is confirmed by X-ray diffraction spectra. The optical absorption spectra of these glasses exhibited a predominant broad band peak at 21,052 … …Journal of Aircraft and Spacecraft Technology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 22 Nov 2019 · 7,114 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMechanical Reliability Calculations for the Thin Specialty Glass PV Solar PanelsDhananjay Joshi, James E. WebbThis study provides important design guidance to the Photovoltaic (PV) solar panel development efforts using the finite element based computations of the PV module under the mechanical loadings. We consider specialty thin glass (Corning Eagle XG®) as superstrate of the PV module, while a standard tempered Soda-Lime-Silica Glass (SLG) is considered as bottom support. The reliability calculations for the module … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 3 Sep 2019 · 7,138 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffect of Niobium Oxide Incorporation on Optical Properties of Sodium Bismuth Borate GlassesHossam M. Gomaa, Saeid M. Elkatlawy, Ahmed H. El-DosokeyGlasses with the chemical compositions 60% B2O3-20% Na2O-(20-x) % Bi2O3-x% Nb2O5 (where, x = 0, 5, 10 and 15 mol. %), were prepared by fast quenching of their melts. Characteristics of the obtained solids were checked by XRD, FTIR and optical absorption spectroscopy. XRD data confirmed the amorphous nature of the glass samples. FTIR results revealed no changes in the … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 6 Jul 2019 · 7,228 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleInfluence of EVA, PVB and Ionoplast Interlayers on the Structural Behaviour and Fracture Pattern of Laminated GlassLiene Sable, David Kinsella, Marcin KozłowskiArchitectural trends increasingly challenge material producers and engineers to create sustainable, renewable and innovative laminated glass products that combine multiple functions as in, for example, glass railings with solar cells, curved laminated glass, floors with light emitting diodes that serve as multimedia screens.

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleInfluence of Acid Frosting on the Microstructure Characteristics and Mechanical Strength of Eroded Soda-Lime-Silica Glasses by SandstormAkinwumi Gbenga Owoyemi, Grace Olufunke Matthew, Seun Samuel OwoeyeMost glass products such as cars windshields, solar panels protecting glass and windowpanes are exposed to unavoidable sandblasting effects especially in areas prone to sandstorms. This sand impingement results into micro cracks and surface flaws which altered the structure and strength of the exposed glasses thereby lowering their service life. In this regard, attempt was made in this research to … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 25 Apr 2019 · 6,918 accessesView PDFCite
