Nonlinear Calculations Methods for Polymeric Materials in Structural Glass Construction - an Overview

The result of the calculation for the strain energy density is shown below (Figure 5).
Fig. 5 Deformation energy density [J / mm³] in the cross section of the L-shaped adhesive joint (long side a), corner b), short side c)).
The section through the long and short side as well as through the module corner is displayed. The results clearly indicate the critically stressed areas in the adhesive. They occur where relatively thin adhesive layer thicknesses connect the two substrates and the load caused by large impediments to transverse expansion has high hydrostatic proportions. The model provides valuable insights into dimensioning and geometry optimization for the described component. ....

Combined Voronoi-FDEM Approach for Modelling Post-Fracture Response of Laminated Tempered Glass

Shanghai Jiao Tong University
In this work, a combined Voronoi and finite-discrete element method (FDEM) approach for reconstructing the post-fracture model of laminated glass (LG) was proposed. The fracture morphology was determined via introducing Voronoi tessellation with statistical distribution parameters such as the fragment face numbers, volume and sphericity. The residual interaction between glass fragments was described with cohesive zone model. One fractured LG block under uniaxial tension, which was taken from a triple layered LG beam with ionoplast interlayers, was modelled and validated with experimentally recorded data.
Through iteration analysis, the key cohesive parameters were determined for the most applicable model. It is followed by investigating the influence due to the fragments interaction property. The results show that the cohesion and frictional property can be combined to well describe the residual interaction behaviour between fragments. The fri ....

Automated Design and Analysis of Reinforced and Post-Tensioned Glass Shells

Shells made of structural glass are beautiful objects from both the aesthetics and the engineering point of view. However, they pose two significant challenges. The first one is to assure adequate safety and redundancy concerning possible global collapse. Being single-layered, in a shell made of structural glass, the brittle cracking of a single pane can lead to a sudden propagation of failure, up to instability.
The second one is to guarantee cheap replacing possibilities for potentially collapsed components. This research explores a novel concept to address both requirements, where glass is both post-tensioned and reinforced and develops the research on TVT post-tensioned glass beams. ....
