Goods that are shipped world-wide travel protected by packages that are frequently made of corrugated board. Therefore, the strength of corrugated board containers is crucial for preserving the content, while an optimization of corrugated board containers is essential to save money and resources. Unfortunately, standard compression tests show a wide dispersion in container performance, and so, ...

Low weight and high load capacity are remarkable advantages of sandwich panels with corrugated core, which make them more considerable by engineering structure designers. It’s important to consider the limitations such as yielding and buckling as design constraints for optimal design of these panels. In this paper, multi-objective optimization of sandwich panels with corrugated core is carried ...

Graphene rippled at the nanoscale level is gathering attention for advanced applications, especially in the field of nanoelectronics and hydrogen storage. Convexity enhanced reactivity toward H was demonstrated on naturally corrugated graphene grown by Si evaporation on SiC, which makes this system a platform for fundamental studies on the effects of rippling. In this work, we report a density ...

An experimental study was conducted to investigate the aerodynamic characteristics of a bio-inspired corrugated airfoil compared with a streamlined airfoil and a flat plate at the chord Reynolds number of Re= 58,000 ~ 125,000 to explore the potential applications of such bio-inspired corrugated airfoils for micro air vehicle (MAV) designs. In addition to measuring the aerodynamic lift and drag ...

Abstract: Based on the characteristics of box girder with corrugated steel webs, the existing prestressing force, the effect of shear deformation of composite girder on the deflection, “folding effect” in longitudinal direction of corrugate steel webs and the arrangement of external tendons were considered comprehensively. With the experiment results of five literatures integrated, N/fcA (the a...

Container stacking strength is an important performance requirement of corrugated fiberboard. The objective of this study is to examine theoretically how fluting geometry affects fiberboard strength and stiffness under standard relative humidity (RH) and high RH conditions. The fluted medium in a corrugated fiberboard is modeled as a connection of curved arc and straight flank segments passing ...

The stacking life of corrugated containers under load decreases as relative humidity (RH) increases and when RH cycles, compared with when RH remains stable. Conventional RH test schedules that rely on fixed cycle periods do not adequately reflect the significance of moisture diffusion and hygroexpansion rate phenomena on the creep of corrugated containers and general wood fiber products. With ...

Buckling analyses of heavily corrugated cylindrical shells based on detailed full finite element models are usually computationally expensive. To address this issue, we have proposed an efficient computational method of predicting the onset of buckling for corrugated cylindrical shells which builds on the Bloch wave method for infinitely periodic structures. We modified the traditional Bloch wa...

It was shown from geometry and photographic measurement that the shading pattern for a sinusoidal corrugated surface of frequency f approximates to a luminance-defined grating of frequency f, 2f or f + 2f in specific relative phase. It was confirmed that a luminance grating modifies the appearance of a suprathreshold stereoscopic corrugated surface, suggesting an interaction between shading and...
