Bending behaviour of laminated safety glass subjected to cross or axial loading

Bending behaviour of laminated safety glass subjected to cross or axial loading. According to recent practise the composite action of interlayers of laminated glass is not being considered in case this effect is favourable. In case the composite action is unfavourable, for example during alternating loads, it can also be relevant to consider the shear bond of the interlayer Therefore a comprehensive presentation of the slip and bending behaviour of laminated glass will be advantageous. In this paper the derivation of the deflection and stress functions based on the slip differential function are presented. Thereby different kinds of transversal and normal loading with non-slip restraint at the endings of the glass laminates are treated. Finally a short comparison of the results with experiments and numerical calculations is shown.
