TLDR
In this paper, a method that allows traditional wave propagation codes to model low velocity, small missile impact in laminated architectural glass such as that which occurs in severe windstorms is presented.Abstract:
Standard finite element wave propagation codes are useful for determining stresses caused by colliding bodies; however, their applicability to brittle materials is limited because an accurate treatment of the fracture process is difficult to model. This paper presents a method that allows traditional wave propagation codes to model low velocity, small missile impact in laminated architectural glass such as that which occurs in severe windstorms. Specifically, a method is developed to model typical fractures that occur when laminated glass is impacted by windborne debris. Computational results of concern to architectural glazing designers are presented.read more
