anyone have experience modelling laminated glass?
(OP)
Hi all,
I'm looking to model a glass laminate, consisting of 2 pieces of glass sandwiching a sheet of polyvinyl butyral. the aim is to see stress distributions and the effects of temperature and pressure on the laminate.
i've never modelled a visco elastic material before, and i can't find PVB pre-programmed into solidworks, so if anyone knows how to go about doing it i'd really like to know...just any pointers would be really useful :)
the main issue really is defining the mechanical properties of a viscoelastic material
Thanks,
James
