Experimental and Numerical Analysis of Glass Fragmentation Kinetics in Typical Residential Gas Explosions

Abstract

AbstractHigh-velocity fragments from building glass pose severe safety hazards during gas explosions. This study investigated the failure mechanisms and fragmentation dynamics of architectural glass under liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and natural gas (NG) ...Practical ApplicationsThis study offers critical insights and practical tools to improve architectural safety in residential gas explosions. The findings are highly relevant to safety engineers, building designers, and emergency planners by revealing the ...
