Laminated connections for structural glass components: a full-scale experimental study

Alain Nussbaumer, Pieter Christian Louter, Manuel Santarsiero

The use of glass material for structural components has drastically increased in the last decade. Among others, a laminated connection is a type of adhesive joint that makes use of foil interlayer adhesive to transfer forces between glass and metal parts. ...

Does a Growing Static Length Scale Control the Glass Transition?

Matthieu Wyart

Several theories of the glass transition propose that the structural relaxation time tau(alpha) is controlled by a growing static length scale. that is determined by the free energy landscape but not by the local dynamic rules governing its exploration. We ...

Structured transparent low emissivity coatings with high microwave transmission

Andreas Schueler, Luc Burnier, Olivia Valérie Charlotte Bouvard

In order to reduce the energy consumption of buildings, modern windows include metal-containing coatings. These coatings strongly attenuate the microwaves used for mobile communications. Here, we present a novel approach to improve radio signal transmissio ...

Mobile communication through insulating windows: a new type of low emissivity coating

Andreas Schueler, Luc Burnier, Olivia Valérie Charlotte Bouvard

Building materials attenuate the microwaves used for telecommunication depending on their composition and thickness. Modern windows contain glass with a metallic coating. This might cause a low quality of cell phone reception inside some buildings. In orde ...

On the Limits of Precision Glass Molding for Diffractive Optical Elements

Karin Prater

Diffractive optical elements (DOEs) consist of surface reliefs with dimensions in the micrometer range and nanometer precision. Two technologies dominate: Elements replicated in plastic and directly microfabricated elements in fused silica. Plastic DOEs ar ...

Mixed mode fracture behavior of welded wood joints investigated with the Arcan test

John Botsis, Joël Cugnoni, Parviz Navi, Martin Rhême

Friction welding of wood is an assembly method that is still under investigation and development. A possible application for welded wood joints is the fabrication of multi-layered panels (i.e., cross-laminated panels). In an effort to model the behavior of ...

Post-Tensioned Structural Glass Beams - Comparative Experimental Study

Pieter Christian Louter, Jagoda Cupac

This paper presents a study of a system of post-tensioned structural glass beams. In order to increase the initial fracture strength of glass beams and provide residual load-carrying capacity in the event of glass failure, annealed laminated glass beams ar ...
