Glass Strength Degradation under Fluctuating Loads
Publication: Journal of Structural Engineering
Volume 111, Issue 7
Abstract
An alternative approach for estimating the strength degradation, and ultimately, the failure of glass cladding subjected to fluctuating loadings is proposed. This procedure is formulated using fracture mechanics concepts employed previously. This approach is simple computationally and does not require time integration of fluctuating stress or pressure loading time histories.
