Validating a failure criterion under complex stress states is important because composites
often encounter multiaxial stress in practical applications, but it also helps to expose any …

The fracture strength of float glass (FG) is generally difficult to predict, since it is governed by
a number of different factors. To bypass the influence of the above-mentioned variables …

A ring-on-ring (ROR) test is a prevailing test method for evaluating the equi-biaxial strength
of glass materials. However, current ROR test standards limit the strength and size of glass …

In this study, based on the established heat transfer and mechanical stress models, thermal
stress distribution of glazing unit filled with paraffin was studied for various temperature …

With the aim of validating a new standardized Coaxial Double Ring testing procedure,
without overpressure and with fixed geometry, an ad hoc theoretical approach has been …

The use of soda-lime silicate glass as a structural element has become frequent in modern
buildings. The load-bearing applications of glass in floors, footbridges, terraces, or stairs …

Recent years have shown increased interest in the use of glass structures in the construction
industry. Investors value qualities such as aesthetics and the good environmental resistance …

The low heat transfer and high energy storage performance of phase change material
(PCM) will improve the thermal performance of the PCM-glazed units. However, decreasing …

Most of the countries are struggling to pace increasing energy demands and carbon
emissions globally. Residential sector has significant role to play as it contributes a share of …

The use of glass in structural applications has been increasing during last years.
Nevertheless, the generalized use of surface-modified bearing glass is precluded by the …
