Two-ply laminated architectural glass used in automotive industry since 1914, now become an important element in construction industry as well. Regarding its importance, a theoretical model is needed for the laminated glass beams investigated mostly experimentally so far. In this paper, a mathematical model for the behavior of laminated glass beams is introduced. The minimum total potential energy principle is employed in developing the mathematical model by assuming large deflection for a laminated composite beam since glass beams are very thin. The model is then validated by the experimental and finite element models for the simply and fixed supported beams respectively. It is presented that the behavior of laminated glass beams under large deflections could be linear or nonlinear regarding the boundary conditions or constraints.

A composite dislocation cell model to describe strain path change effects in BCC metals Yalçınkaya, Tuncay; Geers, M.G.D. (IOP Publishing, 2009-11-16) Sheet metal forming processes are within the core of many modern manufacturing technologies, as applied in, e.g., automotive and packaging industries. Initially flat sheet material is forced to transform plastically into a three-dimensional shape through complex loading modes. Deviation from a proportional strain path is associated with hardening or softening of the material due to the induced plastic anisotropy resulting from the prior deformation. The main cause of these transient anisotropic effects at m...
A SHEAR FLEXIBLE FINITE-ELEMENT FOR NONUNIFORM, LAMINATED COMPOSITE BEAMS Oral, Süha (Elsevier BV, 1991-01-01) A shear flexible finite element is formulated for linearly tapered, symmetrically laminated composite beams. The element has three nodes and 18 degrees of freedom. The three-node configuration is obtained from a five-node parent element by constraining the shear angle variation to be linear. The bending in two planes, twisting and stretching are considered. The performance of the element is tested with isotropic and composite materials, constant and variable cross-sections, and straight and curved geome...
A layerwise approach to piezo-electric plates accounting for adhesive flexibility and delaminated regions Erturk, CL; Tekinalp, Ozan (Elsevier BV, 2005-01-01) Multilayer plates with piezoelectric layers are modeled considering the deformation of the adhesive layers. Special finite elements, that use linear Lagrange and conforming Hermite type interpolation functions, are developed. The results of the formulation are compared with the other results presented in the literature. Since flexible bonding formulation is also suitable for modeling delamination, case studies containing partially delaminated PZT patches are presented. It is shown for a cantilever plate tha...
A new formulation for the analysis of elastic layers bonded to rigid surfaces Pinarbasi, Seval; Akyüz, Uğurhan; Mengi, Yalcin (Elsevier BV, 2006-07-01) Elastic layers bonded to rigid surfaces have widely been used in many engineering applications. It is commonly accepted that while the bonded surfaces slightly influence the shear behavior of the layer, they can cause drastic changes on its compressive and bending behavior. Most of the earlier studies on this subject have been based on assumed displacement fields with assumed stress distributions, which usually lead to "average" solutions. These assumptions have somehow hindered the comprehensive study of s...
Properties of blended cements with thermally activated kaolin Arikan, Metin; Sobolev, Konstantin; Ertuen, Tomris; Yeginobali, Asim; Turker, Pelin (Elsevier BV, 2009-01-01) Kaolin, one of the materials of major importance for the ceramic and paper industry, is also used in the construction industry as a raw material for the production of white cement clinker and, in the form of metakaolin, as an artificial pozzolanic additive for concrete. Metakaolin is a vital component of high-performance and architectural concrete; however, its application in regular concrete is very limited due to relatively high production costs. This report evaluates the performance of a low-cost metakao...
