Bending behavior of laminated glass

Bending strength of laminated glass (LG) is among the most significant mechanical property due to its architectural, glazing, automotive safety, and decorative applications. The book presents an assessment of the bending strength of LG with different inter-layers (Polyvinyl butyral (PVB), Ethyl vinyl acetate (EVA)) and their different critical thicknesses (0.38, 0.76, 1.52 mm). One simple approach to the development of the finite element model is discussed in the book. The book will be useful for the beginners and enable readers to understand the basics of LG, bending test and finite element modeling.
