Material Properties of a Structural Silicone for Linear Adhesive Glass-Metal Connections
description During recent years, adhesives are more frequently used for glass applications in buildings, and according knowledge on adhesive glass-metal connections increased exponentially. However, further research regarding the performance of such connections remains indispensable to further optimise existing concepts or to develop and implement new technologies. To analyse the mechanical behaviour of adhesive glass-metal connections, computer simulations based on the finite element method can be performed. To do so, material properties of all components have to be introduced in the form of stress-strain curves, which can be obtained through experimental tests on adhesive bulk material.
