Post-breakage Tensile and Bending Response of Laminated Glass

Laminated glass, composed by glass plies sandwiching polymeric interlayers, can provide a safe post-glass breakage response, in compliance with the fail-safe approach used in the structural design. In fact, when glass breaks, shards remain attached to the polymer, preventing danger from falling mat...

description Laminated glass, composed by glass plies sandwiching polymeric interlayers, can provide a safe post-glass breakage response, in compliance with the fail-safe approach used in the structural design.
