Explosive fragmentation of Prince Rupert's drops leads to well-defined fragment sizes

Jean-François Molinari

Anyone who has ever broken a dish or a glass knows that the resulting fragments range from roughly the size of the object all the way down to indiscernibly small pieces: typical fragment size distributions of broken brittle materials follow a power law, an ...

Passive diamagnetic contactless suspension rotor with electrostatic glass motor

In this work, we introduce a newly developed passive and frictionless diamagnetic contactless suspension rotor with electrostatic glass motor. A 20 mm diameter disc-shaped rotor comprised of pyrolytic graphite with glass is fabricated. The rotor is diamagn ...

Non-contact femtosecond laser-based methods for investigating glass mechanics at small scales

Christos Edouardos Athanasiou

With the progress made in miniaturizing systems over the last decades, understanding materialsâ behavior at small scales has become a necessity. In this context, glass behavior has remained largely unknown, partly for technological reasons and partly due ...

Hybrid laser 3D microprocessing in glass/polymer micromechanical sensor: towards chemical sensing applications

We demonstrate the fabrication of a 3D polymer/glass micromechanical sensor by combining two femtosecond laser direct writing processes: subtractive laser-assisted chemical etching combined with additive two-photon polymerization techniques. In the first s ...

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. ...

Post-tensioned glass beams

Jagoda Cupac

Over the last few decades, the application of glass in building construction has extended from small four-side supported windowpanes to areas traditionally reserved for other materials, such as roofs, floors, staircases and full building envelopes. Glass i ...

Combination of additive and subtractive laser 3D microprocessing in hybrid glass/polymer microsystems for chemical sensing applications

Yves Bellouard, Matthieu Perrenoud, Matthieu Ludovic Perrenoud

We present a novel hybrid glass-polymer micromechanical sensor by combining two femtosecond laser direct writing processes: laser illumination followed by chemical etching of glass and two-photon polymerization. This incorporation of techniques demonstrate ...

VITRAIL : Acquisition, Modelling and Rendering of Stained Glass

Martin Vetterli, Paolo Prandoni, Loïc Arnaud Baboulaz, Niranjan Thanikachalam

Stained glass windows are designed to reveal their powerful artistry under diverse and time-varying lighting conditions; virtual relighting of stained glass, therefore represents an exceptional tool for the appreciation of this age old art form. However, a ...

Multilevel Micro-Structuring of Glassy Carbon for Precision Glass Molding of Diffractive Optical Elements

Hans Peter Herzig, Toralf Scharf, Karin Prater

A consumer market for diffractive optical elements in glass can only be created if high efficient elements are available at affordable prices. In diffractive optics the efficiency and optical properties increases with the number of levels used, but in the ...

Strength of glass determined by the relation of the critical flaw to the fracture mirror

Jean-Paul Lebet, Maria Lindqvist

Tensile strength of structural glass elements is highly influenced by flaws. For this paper, the study concentrates on the fracture origin i.e. the critical flaw, situated at the edge of a glass element. In the current study the influence of two different ...

Application of hybrid glass-timber elements in architecture

Pieter Christian Louter, Manuel Santarsiero, Paul Ehret, Philipp Eversmann

The following paper explores the application of hybrid timber-glass elements on semi-continuous architectural structures. The use of glass as a structural material opens multiple fields of investigations. Beyond structural matters and safety issues, archit ...

Edge strength model for glass based on the mirror zone depth

Pieter Christian Louter

A reliable assessment of the edge strength becomes an important issue when designing structural glass elements in buildings. However, in the literature the edge strength of glass, dependent on the edge quality, is not well documented. Therefore, in this st ...

Long-term laminated glass four point bending test with PVB, EVA and SG interlayers at different temperatures

Jean-Paul Lebet, Pieter Christian Louter, Tomas Serafinavicius

This paper presents the results of long term experiments of four point bending test with structural laminated glass plates. For experiments 6 mm thick annealed Soda-Lime-Silica Glass and three different interlayer laminates were used: Polyvinyl butyral (PV ...

Exploratory experimental investigations on post-tensioned structural glass beams

Pieter Christian Louter

This paper discusses two projects on post-tensioned glass beams, performed at EPFL and DTU, respectively. In these projects small scale glass beams (length of 1.5m and 1m) are post-tensioned by means of steel threaded rods tensioned at the beam ends. The p ...

Numerical analyses of the effect of SG-interlayer shear stiffness on the structural performance of reinforced glass beams

Pieter Christian Louter

This paper focuses on the numerical modelling of SentryGlas-laminated reinforced glass beams. In these beams, which have been experimentally investigated in preceding research, a stainless steel reinforcement section is laminated at the inner recessed edge ...

Edge-strengthening of structural glass with protective coatings

Jean-Paul Lebet, Pieter Christian Louter, Maria Lindqvist

In modern buildings, glass is increasingly used as a load-carrying material in structural components, such as glass beams. For glass beams especially the edge strength of glass is important. However, the strength of glass is not a material constant but dep ...

Structural response of SG-laminated reinforced glass beams; experimental investigations on the effects of glass type, reinforcement percentage and beam size

Jean-Paul Lebet, Pieter Christian Louter

This paper investigates the effects of glass type (annealed, heat-strengthened and fully tempered), reinforcement percentage (hollow section and full section) and beam size (1.5 and 3.2 m) on the structural response of SG-laminated reinforced glass beams. ...
