...Lorenzo Santi; Gianni Royer-Carfagni Numerical approaches are elaborated to calculate the rheological response of laminated glass beams, whose viscoelastic interlayer is modeled via fractional calculus. This mathematical description is very effective when the relaxation function of the polymer can...

...Ali Haydar; Gianni Royer-Carfagni Cantilevered laminated glass balustrades present design challenges. The cross-sectional warping allowed by the end constraint induces such strong asymmetrical deformations that traditional methods, defining the effective thickness of a monolith with equivalent...

...Ali Haydar; Gianni Royer-Carfagni Laminated glass is a composite made of glass plies sandwiching polymeric interlayers, permanently bonded with a process at high pressure and temperature in autoclave. Within the quasi-elastic approximation, according to which the polymer is linear elastic material...
