GS&E journal > Mechanical analysis and characterization of IGUs with different silicone sealed spacer connections - Part 2: modelling

Insulated Glass Units (IGUs) typically consist of two glass layers, either monolithic and/or laminated sections, that mechanically interact via an hermetically-sealed air (or gas) cavity, and a series of linear spacer connections along their edges. In this paper, based on the experimental tests for...
