Fracture mode of glass plate subject to low-velocity impact: experimental investigation and finite element simulation

An understanding of the impact response of glass plates is important to protect people from injury. We investigated the fracture mode of a float glass plate that fractured under a low-velocity impact and conducted a numerical simulation. First, an impact fracture experiment of a float glass plate wa...

description An understanding of the impact response of glass plates is important to protect people from injury.
