Modeling and Testing of Laminated Glass

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue, “Modeling and Testing of Laminated Glass”, will address advances in experimental testing and numerical or analytical modeling of the mechanical response of laminated glass plates, including fracture. So far, laminated glass structures have found many applications for engineering, industry, and the military. In the context of civil engineering, security windows, doors or walls are used in embassies, airports, shops, banks, or recently as transparent walls to stop potential terrorist attacks at important monuments. In addition to structures preventing human-made threats, laminated glass is also an attractive material for buildings that are supposed to withstand extreme loading from natural events, such as seismicity, extreme winds or other climatic exposures.

It is our pleasure to invite you to submit original research papers within the scope of this Special Issue.
