Influence of boundary conditions on the behavior of laminated glass curved beam with delamination effect: An experimental and numerical investigation.

The delamination phenomena of laminated glass structures are issues that are not perfectly understood and remain problematic to predict due to the nonlinearity of the geometric response. A research study is undertaken to investigate the behavior of laminated glass curved beams with initial delamination exposed to different boundary conditions. A mathematical model which contains nonlinear field equations and boundary conditions is developed.
