Shear Test of Corrugated Board

Abstract

Mechanical strength in the packaging industry poses a significant challenge for manufacturers, particularly in the case of corrugated cardboard boxes with their various designs and layers. In this context, this study focuses on evaluating the effects of tangential stresses on corrugated cardboard and its components. Using a specialized testing mechanism, controlled tangential forces are applied to cardboard samples, allowing for a deeper understanding of the material's behavior under different conditions. This empirical approach enables the identification of key variables influencing stress distribution and potential yield points in corrugated cardboard material. The findings contribute to the development of more efficient and reliable packaging solutions, thereby supporting the sustainability and economic viability of the packaging industry.
