TILT TEST OF A PALLET LOAD UNIT – SIMULATION STUDIES

Abstract

This paper presents a dynamic model of a palletised load unit during a static tilt test. The stability (also called rigidity) of a load unit was evaluated. The palletised load unit was built of packages forming layers and protected against disintegration by stretch film. The aim of this study was to compare the results of a static tilt test with a commonly used and recommended dynamic acceleration test.
