Dynamics of Curved Laminated Glass Panels Under Impact Loading

The aim of the work is to analyze dynamic stress and deformation states of both flat and curved laminated glass composites under impact loading. The work considers modeling of a rigid ball drop on on a panel. Computations using the finite element method (FEM) and the peridynamics theory are performed to predict crack patterns in glass layers. The influence of the soft polymeric interlayer on the strength of the glass laminate will be analyzed.
