Compressive strength of flock-coated packages

Abstract

Study of the effect of thickness and mass of pa-perboard, the length of flock and size boxes on mechanical properties of flock-coated packages is presented. The de-pendence of relative strain on compression stress of packa-ges has been found. While analyzing the character of the curve changes, two zones of dependence of compression strain upon stress were determined. It was found out that the package with flock coating, compared to that made from paperboard, insignificantly increases its resistance to compression, since the paperboard properties, namely, the elastic properties of the paperboard fibres, play the decisi-ve role.
