| Sustainable Configurations for Double Curved and Spherical Glass
| 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.
| The purpose of this study is to investigate the stress distribution along the sealant joint of a cylindrically curved glass panel subjected to wind pressure and to establish if the panel curvature influences the stress distribution along the joint…
| In this paper we focus on automotive applications and describe the tests we performed to find the limits of ultrathin glass in handling and within tests simulating stress expected in the field.
| The objective of this study is to understand the response of laminated glass under high-rate bending in the laboratory at rates representative of blast loading.
| The redeveloped CME Center lobby is defined by a striking, wavelike 24’ tall glass façade.
| This paper investigates the influence of Possion´s Effect on the accuracy and applicability of the used linear elastic Euler-Bernoulli beam theory for the determination of the tensile bending strength of thin glass.
| Curved glass is fundamental in advanced architecture which incorporates a magnitude of glass with organic forms throughout these cutting-edge design structures.
| The objective of this research is to facilitate a waste-free fabrication of doubly curved glass elements and a facile, fast, low-cost mold-making process for the hot bending of glass.
| This paper deals with experiments and numerical simulations of cylindrically curved IGUs.
| In the latest Glastory blog, Jukka Immonen shares some practical tips for optimizing energy consumption in automotive glass production. From preprocessing to final inspection, there is huge potential every step of the way.
The influence of fracture pattern on the residual resistance of laminated glass at high strain-rates
| An experimental investigation of the post-fracture bending moment capacity based on time-temperature mapping of interlayer yield stress
| The main challenge in the design of the duplex façade was the high aesthetical performance that the façade had to meet.
Investigations on the Cold Bending Behaviour of a Double Glazing Unit with a Rigid Edge-Spacer Frame
| In this study, the bending process of specially-fabricated double glazing units (‘panels’) is investigated with a focus on a local instability phenomenon.
| This paper presents work undergone for a set of four high-rise towers, featuring 11,136 unique cold-bentpanels, hundreds of which are pushed beyond 250mm.
| The paper presents the results of FEM analysis as well as tests performed on double glazed units including Sikasil® IG-25 secondary sealing joints and SikaGlaze® IG-5 PIB as primary seal.
| “Going ahead of the Curve” is what the advertisement states outside of newly remodeled, Class A office building in Ottawa, Canada.
| Research has shown that the general approach to determine the bending strength of thermally curved glass with the aid of the four-point bending test for flat glass according to EN 1288-3 is applicable.
| Glass can form and shape a space, creating transparent architecture that can make you feel closer to the outside world.
