Laminated safety glass (LSG) consists of at least two glass panes bonded together by a polymer interlayer. In the event of fracture, this configuration has the advantage that glass fragments remain adhered to the interlayer and the laminate retains a certain residual load-bearing capacity. This characteristic post-fracture behaviour is influenced by numerous factors—most notably the geometry and arrangement of cracks, which play a decisive role in the post-breakage behaviour of laminated glass.

In particular, the delamination behaviour between the interlayer and the glass is a key factor governing the post-breakage response of laminated glass. The objective is to investigate how geometric parameters influence the delamination propagation in fractured laminates and how these parameters affect the post-breakage behaviour.

Possible focus areas of the thesis may include:

- Experimental tensile tests on controlled fractured laminated glass specimens and interpretation of the results.

- Numerical investigations of the residual load-bearing capacity of laminated glass considering delamination propagation.

- Development of analytical approaches to describe delamination and the resulting load transfer mechanisms.
