Strength Design Methods for Glass Structures
… friendly and efficient methods for the design of glass structures are developed. The glass structures comprise various boundary conditions. Several types of glass are considered: single layered glass as well as laminated and insulated glass units. Typical load cases for strength design of glass …

Towards a new transparency : high fidelity additive manufacturing of transparent glass structures across scales
Optically transparent and structurally sound, glass has played a significant role in the evolution of product and architectural design across scales and disciplines, and throughout the ages. Glass processing methods - such as blowing, pressing, and forming - have aimed at achieving increased glass …

Structural opportunities for glass
The use of glass has increased in the last decade. But glass is still not well known by designers because it has an unusual behavior when loaded, it is brittle. Glass acquires many of its characteristics during it manufacturing process, which is described. Then different structural improvements can …

Discrete Differential Geometry of Thin Materials for Computational Mechanics
… paper, sheet metal, freeform masonry, and steel-glass structures are particularly rich in geometric structure and so are well-suited for DDG. I show how understanding the geometry of time integration and contact leads to new algorithms, with strong correctness guarantees, for simulating thin …

Chalcogenide glasses for advanced photonic and photovoltaic applications
Chalcogenide glasses, namely the amorphous compounds containing sulfur, selenium, and/or tellurium, have emerged as a promising material candidate for integrated photonics given their wide infrared transparency window, low processing temperature, almost infinite capacity for composition alloying, …

Modification of glasses and optical waveguides using high electric fields
… thermally poled novel high-index bismuth-borate glass structures. According to the rectification model, glass with higher χ(3) values than silica would permit χ(2) to scale up proportionally, for a given frozen-in electric field strength. The fundamental research on poling induced nonlinearity …

The Development of Hybrid Liquids and Glasses
Abstract: The Development of Hybrid Liquids and Glasses Louis Michael David Longley Metal-organic framework (MOF) glasses are amorphous materials formed by heating a crystalline MOF into the liquid phase and then cooling to form an amorphous solid material. The hybrid nature, defined here as …

Design for Serviceability - A probabilistic approach
… design situations the acceptable performance of structures is defined by serviceability requirements. To estimate the probability of serviceability failure three main design aspects should be considered: (1) the relevant exposures, (2) the structural response and (3) the performance criteria. …

Printing a glass ecology
… unpredictable or unstable material systems using glass 3D printing as a case study. Molten glass forming has always been difficult to accurately predict or model, but also offers a high degree of geometric complexity or hierarchy through organic formations. Top-down design approaches to material …

Zur Bemessung von SL-belasteten Anschlüssen im konstruktiven Glasbau
For the design of glass structures the connection method is of great importance since the relevant stresses of point-fixed glass occur in the ultimate vicinity of the holes. If no further constructive means are provided, these stress peaks cannot be dissipated with subsequent glass breakage. This …

Effects of Corrugations on Stiffness Properties of Composite Beams for Structural Applications
… carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CF) and fiber glass reinforced plastic (FG) were used in this research. While composite materials possess high stiffness and strength properties, the stiffness of composite laminates may be maximized by changing the geometry. By adding corrugations, the flexural …
