Constitutive relationships of different interlayer materials for laminated glass

The paper presents the results of an experimental investigation on the viscoelastic response of laminated glass joints with different interlayers. The problem is explored with double lap joints under shear loadings at temperatures between 0 °C and 60 °C. The viscoelastic mechanical parameters of a polymeric interlayer play a fundamental role in determining the response of laminated glass and thus, their knowledge is required for a fail-safe...
