Optimum Fiber Distribution in Singlewall Corrugated Fiberboard.

Abstract

A theory of thin plates under large deformations is developed that is both kinematically and physically non-linear. It is used to analyze the strength of a single-wall fiberboard element modeled as a composite plate structure. Either an elastic-type instability or a comrpession failure mode is allowed. Results are used to explain how to adjust facing and medium thickness to maximize edgewise compression strength per board weight. (Author)
