Damage Function Results for Glass Cladding

Publication: Journal of Structural Engineering
Volume 112, Issue 11

Abstract

A procedure for estimating damage to window glass under fluctuating wind load conditions is illustrated. Applications of the procedure to damage estimation for panels of integer aspect ratio in the range 1 < ar < 4 are presented. The damage function values overlapped for all panels tested; the critical points appeared to be in the corners as long as the flow distribution over the panels is assumed to be uniform over the surface of the panels.
