In this paper a novel numerical methodology for calculating non-uniform residual stress distributions during the glass tempering process is presented. Tempering techniques lead to non-uniform heat transfer rates causing ...

El vidrio es ampliamente utilizado en aplicaciones estructurales, estando presente en sectores como el sector de la automoción o el sector de la construcción. El comportamiento estructural del vidrio depende principalmente ...

Steel is currently used in various sectors as a structural material. This type of steel is subjected to heat treatments, mainly quenching and annealing, with the aim of modifying its microstructure and increasing its ...

In recent decades, there has been a perceptible transformation in how glass is perceived, evolving from being used for its aesthetic appeal to being acknowledged for its structural capabilities. Structural glass components ...

Fatigue life estimation methods based on time-domain and rainflow counting techniques are widely recognised and accepted for their reliability. However, applying them in scenarios involving random loads with multiple ...

Large-scale experimental programmes become unavoidable to characterise the fracture behaviour of glass. Additionally, if non-uniform residual stresses are to be considered, the total effort required increases significantly. ...
