Intrinsic cohesive modeling of impact fracture behavior of laminated glass

Automotive laminated glass is generally composed of two pieces of outer glass layers and one piece of polyvinyl butyral (PVB) interlayer. Its impact fracture behavior is very important to the safety of drivers, passengers and pedestrians. The objective of this work is to numerically investigate the impact fracture behavior of laminated glass via an intrinsic cohesive model (CM). To achieve this end, we propose a laminated glass model by...
