This study employs a transient, heat transfer finite element analysis to shed light on the thermal response of laser—glass powder bed interaction and the impact of processing parameters.
Visual defects, in particular haze, in glass and façade technologies can significantly impact the aesthetic quality and human experience of daylight and views in buildings.
What glass processes gain the most from automation? In this blog, we’ll focus on some of the particularly promising application areas.
This paper introduces the concept of a numerical sensor as a key element for creating a hybrid digital twin focused on the monitoring of load-bearing glass façades.
This paper investigates the challenges and potentials of phase-field modelling in simulating glass fracture.
When finding, training and retaining personnel for routine jobs is a challenge, processing automation offers a game-changing solution.
This paper presents investigations on a novel approach for post-tensioning laminated glass beams with adhesively bonded iron-based shape memory alloy tendons along both longitudinal glass beam edges.
Sustainable Configurations for Double Curved and Spherical Glass
In this paper, the anticlastic cold bending test was conducted to explore the influence of various factors, including aspect ratio, scale and composition of the plates.
The two common defects—White Haze and Anisotropy—are often misunderstood but are not the same.
A recent study by BV Glas and Stuttgart University outlines three pathways to achieve climate neutrality in the glass industry by 2045.
This paper investigates the post-fracture spring-back effect and the post fracture behaviour in warm bent glass, aiming to assess its safe use in structural glass applications.
This paper aims to quantify the savings achieved through the ERM of secondary layer addition to existing glazed facades, for a high WWR office building in cooling and heating dominated climate locations.
This paper deals with the question of how old insulating glass units can be re manufactured to match the state of the art in terms of the energy efficiency.
The thesis examined the barriers to recovering end of life glass from commercial projects in London, and identified the drivers that will open pathways for glass to be recycled.
This paper introduces a novel method for measuring user satisfaction with glass deformations, aiming to establish acceptance thresholds comparable to objective criteria.
Increasing the circularity of flat glass does not only mean to collect glass cullet from internal and pre- consumer processes. It also means to use glass cullet from the post- consumer applications, such as residential or commercial buildings.
This research examines the viability of recycling soda lime glass from post-consumer Insulated Glass Units (IGU), mixing various types of architectural glass cullet and fusing them into flat plates by using electric kilns.
In this latest Glastory blog, Uwe Risle explains why thin triple IG units are gaining popularity and what the key differences are between thin triple IGUs and other insulating glass types.
In order to minimize the environmental impact of glass by preserving the embodied carbon and substituting newly produced glasses, the reuse of glass is considered to be of the highest potential.
This research focuses on the incorporation of glass bottles into earth-based constructions, because of their mutual advantages of environmental sustainability and cost-effectiveness.
