Use of the finite element method in studying the influence of different layers on mechanical characteristics of corrugated paperboard

摘要

The corrugated paperboard has become a widely used material not only for producing different packages but also for making advertising materials, pieces of art, accessories used for transportation of a number of stock items and many others. With the growing demand for corrugated paperboard comes the need for more detailed knowledge about its mechanical characteristics which would serve for improving the quality and reliability of final products. A model based on the finite element method is used to study how the mechanical characteristics of the layers of the corrugated paperboard affect its complex mechanical characteristics.
