(TU Delft OLD Structural Design) Date 2018 Abstract Steel-to-glass laminated connections, which have recently been developed, limit stress intensifications on the glass and combine strength and transparency. Transparent Structural Silicone Adhesive (TSSA) connections have been used in several projects worldwide; however, the hyperelastic and viscoelastic nature of the material has to date not been fully investigated. In this work, the first objective is to investigate the mechanical response of TSSA connections under static and cyclic loading by means of experimental tests. Firstly, the shear behaviour of TSSA circular connections is characterized by means of monotonic and cyclic loading tests. The adhesive exhibits significant stress-softening under repeated cycles that becomes Subject GlassTSSASiliconeMullins effect To reference this document use: http://resolver.tudelft.nl/uuid:db45d497-c5e4-43bf-b041-13b120e8c06d DOI https://doi.org/10.1007/s40940-018-0066-9 ISSN 2363-5142 Source Glass Structures and Engineering, 3 (2), 213-236 Part of collection Institutional Repository Document type journal article Rights © 2018 Anna Ioannidou Kati, Manuel Santarsiero, P.A. de Vries, S.
