Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis of the Fluted Corrugated Sheet in the Corrugated Cardboard

Abstract

The choice of corrugated medium, flute size, combining adhesive, and linerboards can be varied to design a corrugated board with specific properties. In this paper, the nonlinear finite element analysis of the fluted corrugated sheet in the corrugated cardboard based on software SolidWorks2008 was investigated. The model of corrugated board with three or more flutes is reliable for stress and displacement measurement to eliminate the influence of the number of flutes in models. According to the static pressure test, with the increase of flute heightHor arc radius of flute, the maximum stress in the models decreased and the maximum displacement increased. However the maximum stress and maximum displacement in the models increase nonlinearly in the static pressure test with the increase of the flute angleθ. According to the drop test, with the increase of flute heightH, the maximum stress of goods on the upper board in the drop test decreased. The maximum stress of the model in the drop test decreases firstly and then increases with the increase of flute angle, and the optimal flute angleθcould be 60° for corrugated board. All the conclusions are consistent with experimental data or product standards.

Effects of Different Fluting Medium Geometries on Von-Mises Stress and Deformation in Single Fluted Board: A Three-Dimensional Finite Element Analysis

“…The material and shape of the box should able to support the product inside without damage the rest of the parts of the supported boxes. To date, most of the packaging box is corrugated and produced with a single, double or triple fluting medium (Zhang et al, 2014). The shape of the fluting medium is varied and "s-shape", "ss-shape" or "UV-shape" geometry of the fluting medium is widely used.…”
