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. All new tendencies require the development of interlayers for laminated glass, which allows laminating electrical parts, solar … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 5 Jul 2019 · 8,159 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleStructural Performance of Double Laminated Glass Panels with EVA and PVB Interlayer in Four-Point Bending TestsTomáš Hána, Martina Eliášová, Zdeněk SokolMany examples of glass loadbearing structures such as handrails, panes, beams and columns can be found in modern architecture. Most of these elements are made of laminated glass panels. There is a general lack of knowledge about the transfer of shear forces between the glass plies in perpendicularly-loaded laminated panels. This transfer depends significantly on the stiffness of the polymeric … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 14 Aug 2018 · 13,274 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsTime-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
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractVolume 3: SGAMR is Always on Track!Chiara Bedon, Mario D’Aniello, Flavio StochinoThe year 2019 represents a new growing step for SGAMR, that starts to publish “continuously” all the accepted papers, once they are subjected to positive, blinded peer-review process. This is a further effort to improve the service for the contributors and for the readers, given that the efficiency of the journal to share knowledge can be maximized. Hänig et al. … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 28 Aug 2020 · 5,711 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractVolume 2: and SGAMR Goes!Chiara Bedon, Mario D’Aniello, Flavio StochinoThe year 2018 starts with a great confirmation for SGAMR! The journal has been selected to host the extended version of some selected papers presented during the 6th International Workshop on Design in Civil and Environmental Engineering (DCEE2017), held at the University of Cagliari (Italy) during November 2017. A summary of selected papers from highly ranked, international scientists can be … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 28 Aug 2020 · 5,737 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExamination of Laminated Glass with Stiff Interlayers – Numerical and Experimental ResearchJulian Hänig, Paulina Bukieda, Michael Engelmann et al.Glass is a linear-elastic and isotropic building material which allows for a quick calculation of internal forces and stress in the design stage. However, in safety applications, e.g. overhead glazing or balustrades, it is made into laminated glass using plastic interlayers. Their material properties change over time and are temperature-dependent. Additionally, larger spans and the demand to reduce the amount … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 25 Jan 2019 · 13,559 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractRECENT TRENDS AND CHALLENGES OF ENERGY EFFICIENT AND SUSTAINABLE BUILDINGSChiara BedonAccording to several studies (e.g., the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC, 2014), the US Energy Information Administration (US EIA, 2014), warming of the climate system is unequivocal and mainly derives from greenhouse gas emissions due to human activities. Global Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions from fossil fuels, for example, are estimated to be 29% higher in 2035 than they were … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 11 Sep 2014 · 8,497 accessesView PDFCite
