Failure of Window Glass Plate under Blast Load

Article Preview

Abstract:

The paper deals with the response analysis of interaction of a gaseous shock wave and a glass plate structure with particular reference to the character of excitation wave and material characteristics of structure. The goal of this analysis is the determination of a hypothesis of failure of window glass plate on the basis of the actual plate rotation during extreme plate displacement. Pressures greater than the ultimate stress or plate rotation bring to the collapse of the glass plate structure. The assumptions and results of theoretical - numerical solution are compared with experiments in situ and in laboratory conditions.
