Abstract: A thin elastomeric interlayer called polyvinyl butyral (PVB) is used to bond two or more thin glass plates to form a composite commonly called a laminated glass unit. Even though experiments have been performed to determine ...

Abstract: Thin‐glass window‐glass plates undergo deflections 10 times their thickness before they fail by brittle fracture and, hence, a complete‐elastic large‐deflection analysis of glass plates was found to be necessary to assess ...
