Evaluate equivalent-sectional shear modulus for laminated glass beams using in torsion tests and photogrammetry method
Preprint / Working Paper
Uheida, K., Deng, Y., Zhang, H., Galuppi, L., Gao, J., Xie, L., …Mohamed, A. (2021). Evaluate equivalent-sectional shear modulus for laminated glass beams using in torsion tests and photogrammetry method

This paper proposes a concise concept for quantifying the shear/torsional stiffness of the laminated glass beams experimentally by introducing the Equivalent-Sectional Shear Modulus (ESSM), that is directly measured from the torque and sectional-rota...
