Dynamic response of a novel laminated glass panel using a transparent glass fiber-reinforced composite interlayer under blast loading

摘要

The novel laminated glass-composite panel consists of a transparent glass fiber-reinforced polymer composite interlayer bonded to glass sheets. A numerical model has been developed to simulate the dynamic response of the laminated glass-composite panel under blast loading. The simulated dynamic response, in terms of the midpoint deflection, correlates well with the experiments conducted in a blast load simulator. Stress analysis of the laminated glass shows that it can survive under both medium intensity (peak pressure approximate to 4 psi) and high intensity (peak pressure approximate to 10 psi or higher) blast.
