Millions of tons of waste glass are produced every year and its management is one of the
biggest environmental problems. In other hands, there is a need to discover potential light …

The present work is devoted to prove that unstable crack propagation events do not comply
with quasi-static hypotheses and thus should be modelled by dynamic approaches …

Brittle materials have been used for projectiles in recent years. To investigate the failure
mechanism of glass cylinder during the impact, a light gas gun was adopted to conduct …

The tempered laminated windshield used in high speed train is different with that used in
auto. This work aims to study the crack propagation and dynamic impact responses of …

It is reported that the fractured glass panels can contribute to the residual load-bearing
capability of laminated glass (LG) after cracking. In order to investigate the stiffness and …

Modern design codes, such as the new Eurocode on the design of structural glass
components, consider the prediction of the post-failure behavior of these elements of …

China has built high-speed railways in desert areas. When high-speed trains run in wind-
sand flows, wind pressure and sand impact increase the fracture probability of side-window …

Glass is one of the most essential materials in various industrial fields. A representative
application is as interposers in the semiconductor and display industries and microfluidic …

Accidental breakage of glass due to its brittle feature leads to the concern about the post-
fracture capability of structural glass components. The post-fracture response of …

To aid in the creation of sustainable structures, scientists have utilized waste materials found
in the environment to serve as alternatives for traditional resources in the construction …
