Abstract: When properly designed, framed, and anchored, blast-resistant laminates for curtain walls can greatly reduce or eliminate the hazard and injury from flying glass, and are capable of maintaining the integrity of a building ...

Abstract: Threedimensional (3D) throughsiliconvia (TSV) technology is emerging as a powerful technology to reduce package footprint, decrease interconnection power, higher frequencies, and provide efficient integration of heterogeneous ...

Abstract: To be able to accurately predict the static resistance function of laminated glass subjected to blast loads using engineering analysis methods, it is critical to evaluate the static behavior of the polymer interlayer before ...

Abstract: A threetier critical section selection methodology that is used to identify critical sections for the U.S. EPRTM standard nuclear power plant (NPP) is presented. The critical section selection methodology includes three ...

Abstract: Building envelope is a critical line of defense against external explosions, and laminated glass can greatly reduce the hazard of flying shards. Blast-resistant glazing research exists, but few areas remain unexplored ...
