Effect of Loading Rate on the Edgewise Compressive Strength of Corrugated Fiberboard

摘要

Research was conducted to determine the effect of loading rate on the edgewise compressive strength of corrugated fiberboard. Results indicated that as the loading rate was increased the edgewise compressive strength, parallel to the flutes, also increased. Loads were found to be a logarithmetric function of the loading rate and increased approximately 7.5 percent for each tenfold increase in loading rate. (Author)
