Double-lap shear test on laminated glass specimens under diverse ageing conditions

Laminated glass is a composite laminate obtained from combining two or more glass layers with a polymeric interlayer. The adhesion between glass and interlayer, as well as the shear strength and stiffness of the interlayer, are key factors to evaluate the cohesive behaviour of laminated glass. Glass...

Sumario:Laminated glass is a composite laminate obtained from combining two or more glass layers with a polymeric interlayer. The adhesion between glass and interlayer, as well as the shear strength and stiffness of the interlayer, are key factors to evaluate the cohesive behaviour of laminated glass. Glass is a very durable material, while polymeric interlayers can be deteriorated by exposure to weathering factors. A double-lap shear test was carried out on laminated glass specimens, with four different interlayer materials (PVB BG-R20, Saflex DG-41, SentryGlas, and EVASAFE), after different ageing tests (unaged, thermal cycles, humidity, and UV radiation). The material selection affected the shear behaviour of the bond between glass and interlayer, and so did the previous exposure to certain ageing factors. Since the polymeric interlayers are viscoelastic materials, and therefore its mechanical properties are time- and temperature-dependant, the results here presented should be complemented with dynamic and static tests at different temperatures.
