Laminated glass is a simple sandwiched composite structure, while being widely used in the
automotive industry as windshield glazings. It is considered to be safety glass due to its …

The designed fracture of laminated glass (LG) makes it useful for architectural, glazing,
automotive safety, photovoltaic, ultraviolet ray protection, and decorative applications. The …

Laminated glass is normally a three-layer sandwiched composite structure, ie two glass
layers and one PVB interlayer. The discrete element/finite element (DE/FE) coupling …

A fracture model suitable to spherical discrete element method (DEM) is presented based on
the concept of the cohesive model. In this fracture model, there are three types of interaction …

Discrete element method has been widely adopted to simulate processes that are
challenging to continuum-based approaches. However, its computational efficiency can be …

A four-point combined DE/FE algorithm is proposed to constrain the rotation of a discrete
element about its linked point and analyze the cracks propagation of laminated glass. In this …

An integrated DEM-FEM coupling simulation approach is developed to simulate the real
process of shot peening, and is validated by comparing the predicted in-depth residual …

The rock fracture behavior has an important impact on the breakage performance of Tunnel
Boring Machines (TBMs). To model the rock fracture process, a novel constitutive law is …

A novel adaptive combined DE/FE algorithm is proposed to simulate the fracture procedure
of brittle materials of plane stress problems. The main concept of the approach is that a …

The particle image velocimetry (PIV) is used to conduct experimental research in the solid-
liquid two-phase plane turbulent boundary layer. The turbulence statistics such as the …
