Abstract

The objective of this work was to develop a method, the testing equipment, and the instrumentation with which dynamic stress-strain information may be obtained for paperboards and built-up corrugated fiberboards as used in corrugated fiberboard containers. Much information is available on the properties of these materials when subjected to static or low rates of loading, and this information has been valuable in the design of corrugated containers to resist the compressive stacking loads experienced in shipping and storage.
