Determination of projection ratio of solar laminated glass

Does solar radiation affect the behavior of laminated glass with PVB interlayer?

In this paper the consequences of solar radiation on the behavior of laminated glass with PVB interlayer are experimentally evaluated. The experimental campaign reported is based on the repetition of four point bending tests in creep condition, on laminated glass beams while subjected to increasing exposition time to artificial solar radiation.

How does UV radiation affect laminated glass?

Based on previous research [ 11 ], the influence of UV radiation produced by the direct exposition to sunlight has been identified as the main cause ofdegradation of laminated glass to weathering, also in consideration of the exposition time that some glass structures can experience through their life.

How to produce laminated glass?

There are two main methods of producing laminated glass, namely, the dry method and the wet method. And then, three impact tests and two main simulation analysis of laminated glass are introduced. The three impact tests are the drop weight test, Charpy impact test, and Izod impact test respectively.

Does Exposition time affect mechanical properties of laminated glass?

In order to evaluate the evolution of the consequences of exposition time on the mechanical properties of laminated glass, it was decided to use four point bending tests in which the specimens, exposed to UV radiation, were tested in creep several times while the exposition time grew.
