Abstract:
Though we may not perceive it, we are surrounded by material-in-flux. Inert materials degrade and the events that comprise our natural and social environments causally thread into a duration that unifies us in our incomprehension. Sounds reveal ever-present vibrations of the landscape: expressions of the flexuous ground on which we stand.

Abstract:
Low velocity impact behaviour of bi-layered laminates of acrylic and polycarbonate was investigated using a combination of drop tower impact experiments and explicit finite element analysis in LS-DYNA. Material characterisation tests were conducted in tension and in compression to obtain material properties for input to the material model in the numerical analysis. Quasistatic plate bending tests were conducted at different loading rates to compare the quasistatic response of the materials to the impact behaviour.

Blast resistant glazing systems typically use laminated glass to reduce the risk of flying glass debris in an explosion. Laminated glass has a bonded polymer interlayer that retains glass fragments upon fracture. With proper design, the flexibility of the interlayer in laminated glass can offer protection from significantly higher blast loads when compared to an equivalent monolithic pane. This thesis investigates the post-fracture behaviour of laminated glass under blast loading and aims to build the knowledge required to improve design methods for blast resistant glazing.
