PHASE-FIELD DAMAGE OF LAMINATED GLASS PLATES

Abstract

: Laminated glass is used in automotive industry for almost a centrury. Recently its use has expanded widely in civil engineering, where it play structure role. For safe and efficient design of laminated glass ele-ments it is important to implement material models which correctly predict its behavior including after rupture. The contribution provides theoretical background and implementation aspects of such a model. It is focused mainly on post-breakable behavior and paves the way for extension to impact loading.
