Abstract:
The article presents a simplified method for determining the strength of corrugated board packaging subjected to dynamic transport loads. The proposed algorithm consists of several calculation steps: (1) a static analysis of the compressive strength of the package, (2) an analysis of random vibrations in the frequency domain used to determine the resonance frequencies and (3) a dynamic analysis of the package loaded with computed resonant frequencies. For this purpose, numerical models of the static compression test of the packaging before and after the dynamic analysis of the package subjected to general transport loads were developed. In order to validate the model, laboratory packaging compression tests were also performed for samples of boxes using three-layer cardboard. Due to this, it was possible to verify the numerical simulation results of the compression tests for several box geometries. This, in turn, allowed for the development of a method based on dynamic and post-dynamic (static) numerical analyses, permitting a high-accuracy determination of the resistance of the selected packaging to vibrations and dynamic loads. The results of the (experimentally validated) numerical analysis proved the usefulness of the simplified method presented herein for precise estimation of the load capacity of various packages dynamically loaded during transport.
