A failure prediction model for window glass
… method to predict the probability of failure of window glass plates subjected to lateral loads. The failure prediction technique should include provision for all significant factors which influence glass strength and all significant factors which influence plate behavior The ultimate use of the …

Investigation of the mechanics of windborne missile impact on window glass
… envelope consists of the roof, doorways, windows, and cladding components that form the exterior wall system of a building. Failure of the building envelope results in internal pressurization of the structure which may lead to structural failure. For this reason, engineers have begun to …

Measurement of Window Glass Temperature With a Fluorescence Intensity Ratio Optical Fibre Sensor
… utilised to measure the surface temperature of window glass during a fire. A comparison has been made between the intrinsic optical fibre sensor and thermocouples (the conventional temperature measuring device used in fire research). Neodymium doped fibre was used as the temperature sensing …

A window to the past: Analysis of flat glass recovered from West Point, Nevada
… presents a comparative archeological analysis of window glass collections recovered from five historic archeological sites located in southern Nevada spanning the years from 1866 to the 1960s. The comparative analysis is used to test the validity of the chronological scheme created by other …

Anisotropic wave guides-- propagation, focusing and dispersive phenomena with applications for non-destructive testing.
… layers. Some examples include rolled aluminum, window glass, plywood, automobile bodies, plane wings, silicon wafers, bridge support beams, and paper. These layers can be viewed and modeled as acoustic waveguides. This thesis will present the framework in which to analyze such layers. To this …

Effectiveness and performance of double-skin airflow facades
… space heater. Two 1/8" thick panes of uncoated window glass, separated by 7", with 1" white aluminum blinds in the center, made up the facade structure. Air was driven through the channel at velocities up to 0.7 mis. The results of experimentation validate the model when no light is being …

An experimental investigation of glass breakage in compartment fires
… has been completed which studied the breaking of window glass by fire. The experiments were carried out in a specially designed compartment to achieve two-layer flows characteristic of normal building fires. The experimental data was collected from two test groups: the first for windows with their …

Energy conservation and thermal comfort in buildings in northern Pakistan
… building material (concrete block and window glass) and new building designs which are climatically inappropriate and more consistent with the mild climate of lower Pakistan. This study examines these changes from an energy perspective in the homes and schools in and around Karimabad, a …

Growth Study and Characterization of TiO2 Based Thin Films for Low Temperature Synthesis of Transparent Conductive Films
… for displays, photovoltaics, architectural and window glass technologies. The most utilized TCOs are tin-doped indium oxide (ITO), which is suffering from scarcity, lower transmittance in the near infrared region, poor chemical stability in hydrogen atmosphere and toxicity. Due to these …

Lifetime and efficiency improvement of organic luminescent solar concentrators for photovoltaic applications
… to developing methods for energy harvesting from window glass that is capable of passing visible light through the windows of buildings while converting the unwanted invisible solar radiation into electricity. Research has focussed on two particular aspects, namely (i) the integration of thin-film …
