SILICONE STRUCTURAL GLAZING UNDER BLAST LOADING

Silicone Structural Glazing Under Blast Loading

Silicone sealants have a long history of successful use in high performance windows and curtainwalls, such as structural glazing (bonding) systems which can contribute to bomb blast mitigating window designs.Previous experimental work illustrated the increase in strength and elongation for silicone sealants at the Dry Food Dispensers typically high

Application of the Theory of Critical Distance (TCD) to the Breakage of Cardboard Cutting Blades in Al7075 Alloy

The study presented in this paper was undertaken in response to two instances of unexpected blade breakage in the cutting blade used in a Carton Wrap machine (CW).Failure of the Al7075 alloy blade occurred at an indentation during typical operational loading conditions.Subsequent metallographic examinations of the fractured samples confirmed that b
