  • More about A Model for the Stochastic Fracture Behavior of Glass and Its Application to the Head Impact on Automotive Windscreens


The book discusses the stochastic strength of glass and its application to automotive windscreens, using a finite element model to simulate windscreen experiments and predict the probability of pedestrian head injury on impact.

Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 148 pages
Publication date: 03 March 2022
Publisher: Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden


The book delves into the fascinating realm of stochastic strength analysis of glass, specifically focusing on its application to automotive windscreens. To accomplish this, a comprehensive finite element model is developed, which is subsequently validated through the examination of well-established phenomena related to the fracture behavior of glass. Following an extensive investigation into the strength of windscreens, the model is employed to simulate windscreen experiments. Finally, the probability of a pedestrian suffering a head injury upon impact with a windscreen is predicted, accounting for the stochastic breakage behavior of glass.

This groundbreaking approach is significant as it addresses a critical gap in current safety standards, particularly in the realm of automotive crash tests. By incorporating the stochastic nature of glass breakage, a more accurate representation of real-world scenarios can be achieved, enhancing the safety of vehicle occupants.

The significance of this research extends beyond the automotive industry. The findings have the potential to impact various industries where glass is a common material, such as construction, electronics, and even eyewear. By understanding the stochastic strength of glass, manufacturers can design and optimize products to mitigate the risk of injury and improve overall safety.

In conclusion, the book's exploration of stochastic strength analysis of glass and its application to automotive windscreens represents a significant step forward in the field of materials science and engineering. By leveraging advanced modeling techniques and considering the complex behavior of glass, this research provides valuable insights into improving the safety of individuals and structures exposed to glass-related hazards.
