- Title
LABORATORY SIMULATION OF IMPACT LOADING ON LAMINATED GLASS FOR ICE HOCKEY ARENAS.
- Authors
Fam, A.; Rizkalla, S.
- Abstract
The article discusses an experimental program which aims to simulate the impact of ice hockey pucks flying at high velocities on the response and failure modes of tempered glass shields. It conducted a total of 36 test on both unlaminated and laminated tempered glass specimens with different thicknesses. It was found that as the glass thickness increases the ultimate puck velocity at failure also increases. In addition, lamination has no significant effect on the strength of the glass. On the other hand, it enhances safety as it significantly changes failure mode from brittle catastrophic failure.
