Abstract

Nowadays, laminated glass is considered one of the most important types of safety glass ,that is due to its ability to fulfill security requirements of people and properties .The Failure behavior of laminated glass has been studied in varied loading cases using many experimental and numerical methods. In this article, a 2d-Deformable Numerical Model was suggested to be used in simulation of laminated glass sheets behavior subjected to bending loads. The interlayer was considered as a hyper-elastic material whereas the glass was modeled using the linear elastic module. This model was validated through 4-point bending test. For a further validation of this “2d- bending” Model , the effect of various geometric parameters of the laminated glass panels on the maximum principal stress was studied numerically and compared with experimental results mentioned in the reference study [6] .
