Dimensioning of silicone adhesive joints

Authors: Micheal Drass & Michael A. Kraus  Source: Glass Structures & Engineering |  Abstract This paper deals with the application of the semi-probabilistic design concept (level I, DIN EN 1990) to structural silicone adhesives in order to calibrate partial material safety factors for a stretch-based limit state equation. Based on the current legal situation for the application of […]
