Fatal and serious injuries of vulnerable road users (VRU) occur frequently in the events of
vehicle impact. Front-end crashworthiness of vehicle can considerably affect VRU injuries in …

Laminated glass is a simple sandwiched composite structure, while being widely used in the
automotive industry as windshield glazings. It is considered to be safety glass due to its …

To facilitate the development of accurate material models for glass, there is a need for
reliable experimental procedures that capture the stochastic nature of the material. The …

The bird impact on aircraft components is one of the most serious accidents which can
happen in the aviation industry. Among the various parts of an aircraft, the bird impact on the …

Electric two-wheelers (E2Ws) have become newly popular transportation tools with the
associated growing traffic safety concerns. E2W riders and bicyclists behave similarly as …

Though windshield laminated glass is a simple sandwiched composite structure, it is of vital
importance to investigate its damage and energy absorption behavior for the purpose of …

Road trucks stuck obliquely across rail tracks in level crossings and collided by trains are
common occurrences; such scenarios are used in the assessment of crashworthiness of …

Glass fracture is the main failure pattern of windshield laminated glass subjected to low-
velocity impact. Previous studies normally employed solid elements in conjunction with …

This study investigates the influence of the interlayer materials on the low velocity impact
performance of laminated glass. By varying the impact velocity, with a drop-weight, the effect …

Glass is a brittle material known to possess large scatter in its fracture strength, which is
caused by the existence of microscopic surface flaws. Fracture in glass generally originates …
