    Abstract: A cold-formed glass laminate (100) may include a first ply (108) of 3D formed glass with a first thickness, a first strength, and a first coefficient of thermal expansion. The laminate (100) may also include a second ply (110) of 3D formed glass with a second thickness less than the first thickness, a second strength greater than the first strength, and a second coefficient of thermal expansion. The second coefficient of thermal expansion may be selected to be sufficiently higher than the first coefficient of thermal expansion to induce residual compressive stresses in the first ply (108) due to cold forming therewith. An adhesive layer (112) may be arranged between the first ply (108) and the second ply (110).

    Abstract: Embodiments of a vehicle with reduced cabin noise are disclosed. In one or more embodiments, the vehicle includes a vehicle body enclosing an interior, a forward facing opening in communication with the interior, a windshield laminate having a first surface density (kg/m2) disposed in the forward facing opening, at least one side facing opening adjacent to the windshield, and a side window laminate having a surface density substantially equal to the first surface density disposed in the one side facing opening, wherein, within a frequency range from about 2500 Hz to about 8000 Hz, the windshield laminate comprises a first coincident dip minimum at a first frequency, and the side window laminate comprise a second coincident dip minimum at a second frequency, and wherein the first frequency and the second frequency differ by at least one one-sixth octave interval.

    Abstract: Articles and methods related to the cold-forming of glass laminate articles utilizing stress prediction analysis are provided. A cold-forming estimator (CFE) value that is related to the stress experienced by a glass sheet of a glass laminate during cold-forming is calculated based on a plurality of geometric parameters of glass layer(s) of a glass laminate article. The calculated CFE value is compared to a cold-forming threshold related to the probability that defects are formed in the complexly curved glass laminate article during cold-forming. Cold-formed glass laminate articles are also provided having geometric parameters such that the CFE value is below the cold-forming threshold.
