Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleTransformable Curved Thin Glass GreenhouseLaura GaluppiThe use of new generation thin, lightweight and damage-resistant glass, originally conceived for electronic displays, is being very recently proposed for structural applications, in particular for adaptive and movable skins and façades. This paper explores this concept and presents a study on the structural use of thin glass in greenhouses for protected agriculture, based on the use of cold-twisted elements … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 1 Dec 2018 · 6,803 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 accessIn the keywordsInfluence of Triethanolamine on the Chemical Bath Deposited NiS Thin FilmsAnuar Kassim, Ho Soon Min, Tan Wee Tee, Ngai Chee FeiProblem statement: Recently, many scientists looking for new chalcogenide materials for the solar cell applications. Nowadays, silicon-based solar cell became dominant products in the market. Because of expensive silicon-based solar cells, scientists hope replaces it with cheaper chalcogenide materials. Approach: The binary chalcogenide materials were deposited onto microscope glass slide using simple chemical bath deposition method. Here, we study the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 18 Apr 2011 · 7,970 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
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Novel Thermo-Chemical Treatment on Bending Strength of Laminated GlassAjitanshu VedrtnamThe science of thermal and chemical treatment of glass is well documented. The Laminated Glass (LG) is usually not treated as either treated glass is used during production or lower melting temperature of interlayer does not allow the treatment. The present work reports the novel methods of thermo-chemical treatment of LG having annealed soda lime glass plies. Five thermo-chemical treatments … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 29 Mar 2018 · 6,973 accessesView PDFCite
Research NotesOpen accessIn the abstractA Study on Fabrication and Structural Characterization of PbS Thin FilmsMustika Wati, Kamsul AbrahaPbS thin films are fabricated from 99.9% PbS powder on glass substrates using the vacuum evaporation method. Some of the samples are then treated in an advanced process called annealing. Samples are annealed in temperatures of 80, 100, 120 and 150°C for two h. Characterization using an X-Ray Diffractometer (XRD) resulted in values of lattice constant of the films ranging … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 13, Issue 4 · 20 Nov 2017 · 7,847 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptical and Structure Analysis of ZnO:Al FilmNeilo Marcos Trindade, Michel Chaves, José Roberto Ribeiro Bortoleto et al.ZnO and ZnO:Al are wide-bandgap semiconductors which have many applications, mainly as transparent conducting films. Thin films of these compounds were deposited onto glass and silicon substrates by RF magnetron sputtering for the investigation of structural and optical characteristics. The XRD results show that the films present wurtzite structure. The formation of a polycrystalline film having a preferential crystallographic orientation … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 5 Oct 2017 · 7,855 accessesView PDFCite
