Evaluation Of Damping Properties Of Structural Glass Panes Under Impact Loading

The latest technology and architectural trends have significantly improved the use of a large variety of glass products in construction which, in function of their own characteristics, allow to design and calculate structural glass elements under safety conditions. This paper presents the evaluation and analysis of the damping properties of rectangular laminated glass plates with different thicknesses depending on the number of PVB interlayers arranged. By means of numerical simulation and experimental verification, using model analysis, natural frequencies and damping of the glass plates were calculated, both under free boundary conditions and operational conditions for the impact test equipment used in the experimental program, as EU standard UNE-EN 12600: 2003 specifies.
