Static and dynamic strength of soda-lime glass under combined compression-shear loading

A modified method was employed to investigate failure of the soda-lime glass under combined compression-shear loading condition based on Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar. With double beveled ends loading blocks, shear component was introduced into the specimen, maximum ratio of which to normal stress was more than 40%. Both quasi-static and dynamic tests were conducted on soda-lime glass specimens in four different loading directions: 0°, 15°, 30°...
