CALCULATING CUSHION THICKNESS BY ANALYSIS OF STRESS-STRAIN CURVES

Abstract

A method for designing package cushioning to protect an article against shock is developed from physical and mathematical concepts. Design curves for calculating cushion thickness are included for many currently available cushioning materials. Methods for selecting the proper cushion are discussed.
