A Monolithic Micro-Tensile Tester for Investigating Silicon Dioxide Polymorph Micromechanics, Fabricated and Operated Using a Femtosecond Laser

Yves Bellouard, Christos Edouardos Athanasiou

Mechanical testing of materials at the microscales is challenging. It requires delicate procedures not only for producing and handling the specimen to be tested, but also for applying an accurate and controlled force. This endeavor is even more challenging ...

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 ...

Experimental study on glass edge machining flaw characterization

Maria Lindqvist, Pieter Christian Louter

Knowledge of failure strength is the key to structural glass applications. However, the influence of the manufacturing process on the failure initiation at the glass edge is not well known. For this paper, small-scale glass specimens are tested in four-poi ...

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 ...

Experimental and numerical investigations of metal-to-glass embedded connections with thin stainless steel plate

Pieter Christian Louter, Manuel Santarsiero

The recent demand for architectural transparency has drastically increased the use of glass material also for structural purpose. However, connections between structural glass members represent one of the most critical aspects of glass engineering, due to ...
