Abstract:In this contribution, a methodology for calibration and validation of a finite element model for dynamic response of laminated glass units with viscoelastic interlayer is proposed. The model is based on a refined theory in which the adjacent layers are connected by kinematic constrains ensuring the inter-layer compatibility. The time-dependent behavior of the interlayer is accounted for by the generalized Maxwell model. The resulting system is solved by the Newton method with consistent linearization and allow… Show more

The present study is focused on the application of phase-field modelling techniques to fracture simulation in laminated glass samples under bending. A damage model using a phase-field formulation of fracture is introduced and applied to three-layer laminated glass samples. The identification of material parameters of polymer foils and glass is also provided, based on a combined experimental and numerical analysis. Specifically, the results of small scale testing and the calibration of the constitutive models of polymer interlayers are discussed in connection to ethylen-vinyl acetate and polyvinyl butyral foils. The statistical data obtained by the evaluation of tensile strength of glass samples are used for the formulation of the tensile stress criterion. Therefore, a generalisation of the energetic formulation of phase-field models towards the stress-based criterion is employed here to simulate the fracture behaviour of laminated glass. The experimentally measured data are compared with the numerically derived response using the extreme values of tensile strength obtained. Then, the fracture response is analysed for one sample to support the proposed computational model and material parameters.

Section: Dynamic Torsion Tests On Polymer Foilsmentioning
This paper is concerned with the evaluation of tensile strength of annealed and heat-strengthened glass from a given set of samples. The values of tensile stresses at failure corresponding to the strengths of samples are determined from experimentally measured strains and also computed numerically using the known value of the critical load and loading scenario only. In contrast to common testing procedures performed on monolithic glass samples, laminated glass specimens are analyzed in our study to account for a potential impact of the process of fabrication. The data sets from two types of experiments are examined. In particular, the measured response from four-point bending tests is complemented with that for simply-supported laminated glass samples loaded in bending by a uniformly distributed pressure. The experimentally measured data are compared with those derived numerically to support the proposed computational model. In this regard, the results of small scale testing needed in calibrating the constitutive model of the polymer interlayer are also discussed in connection to ethylen-vinyl acetate and polyvinyl butyral foils.
