Abstract:
This paper presents experimental investigations on the flexural behavior of double-layer toughened sandwich glass with trilateral simple support. A total of sixty-four pieces of toughened sandwich glass with different thickness of single layer, supporting width, and loading length were subjected to out-of-plane flexural loading tests. It was demonstrated that the specimens failed with all pieces of cracks combined together as an entire unit rather than to separate into a large number of glass fragments. The cracks appeared only at the lower layer of toughened sandwich glass and the upper layer of the toughened sandwich glass was integral and undamaged. The ultimate capacity and flexural rigidity of the toughened sandwich glass are enhanced with increasing the thickness of single layer, supporting width, and loading length. Among all studied parameters, the thickness of single layer exerts the largest influence on the ultimate capacity and flexural rigidity of toughened sandwich glass, while the effect of supporting width is quite limited. A simplified design formula was put forward to predict the ultimate capacity of double-layer toughened sandwich glass with trilateral simple support under out of-plane flexural loading, which was verified to be reasonable and accurate.
