To reach the points of our subject we will need to start our discussion around the elastic and plastic properties of the TPUs. That is why we are going to focus ourselves around the Shear Stress and Strain measurements of materials and their plots. Be sure that in the...
Another Key role of TPU Interlayers inside the Bullet Resistant Glass Structures: Managing the Explosive Energy.
Many people still belive that the TPU interlayer used for the lamination of BRG structures is just an adhesive with good optical properties. But the TPU can work not only as an adhesive. It can play also an important role inside the BRG structures. At this point it...
Materials for Security and Ballistic Resistant Glass Laminates
Looking at materials for Security and Ballistic Resistant Glass applications, we can say that today there is no single material that fits all properties needed for these specific applications. We have still not found the perfect glass that fulfills all the resistance...
Security and Ballistic Resistant Glass Laminates: Physics of Materials
As it has been referred, there is no perfect material for transparent impact resistance applications. Specially if we are looking for high impact resistance structures, being to deal and to block bullets at speeds from 360 m/s until 900 m/s.Talking about these speeds...
The Mechanical Properties of a Security Glazing Interlayer Film from its Product Data Sheet
In order to get the “finger print” of any manufactured product the technical people should look at its Product or Technical Data Sheet (PDS or TDS). The PDS documents show the more relevant Technical parameters. In the PDS the Manufacturer provides the properties and...
