3D Energy Absorption Diagram Construction of Paper Honeycomb Sandwich Panel

Paper honeycomb sandwich panel is an environment-sensitive material. Its cushioning property is closely related to its structural factors, the temperature and humidity, random shocks, and vibration events in the logistics environment. In order to visually characterize the cushioning property of paper honeycomb sandwich panel in different logistics conditions, the energy absorption equation of per unit volume of paper honeycomb sandwich panel was constructed by piecewise function. The three-dimensional (3D) energy absorption diagram of paper honeycomb sandwich panel was constructed by connecting the inflexion of energy absorption curve. It takes into account the temperature, humidity, strain rate, and characteristics of the honeycomb structure. On the one hand, this diagram breaks through the limitation of the static compression curve of paper honeycomb sandwich panel, which depends on the test specimen and is applicable only to the standard condition. On the other hand, it breaks through the limitation of the conventional 2D energy absorption diagram which has less information. Elastic modulus was used to normalize the plateau stress and energy absorption per unit volume. This makes the 3D energy absorption diagram universal for different material sandwich panels. It provides a new theoretical basis for packaging optimized design.

Quasi Static Compression

This paper is aimed to investigate the crushing response of single square honeycomb panels under quasi-static compression loading. Two types of materials are used in this study, which refers to 100 % polylactic acid (PLA) and 70 % PLA filled 30 % carbon fibre (PLA/CF). Single honeycomb panels were fabricated through additive manufacturing technique, and assembled using slotting technique. The effect of boundary factor on the single square honeycomb panels have been studied, which refers to none, single-side, double-side boundary conditions. The effect of material properties on the crushing response has also involved. For the tensile test, it was concluded that the PLA/CF specimen offered the higher young modulus with 428.75 MPa than 360.76 MPa of PLA specimen. For the quasi-static compression test, the compressive modulus and strength of the single honeycomb sandwich panel showed 489.69 MPa and 18.32 MPa with boundary type 1, which provided the highest value compared to other two boundary condition types. Moreover, the square honeycomb sandwich panels with PLA/CF material and type 3 boundary condition offered the better crushing performance on energy absorption (EA) with 66.42 kJ and specific energy absorption (SEA) with 2282.47 kJ/kg. In addition, the crushing behaviour and failure mode were also involved and discussed in this study.

This study introduces the opinion of the corrugation hierarchy to develop the second-order corrugation paperboard, and explore the deformation characteristics, yield strength, and energy absorbing capacity under out-of-plane static evenly compression loading by experimental and analytical approaches. On the basis of the inclined-straight strut elements of corrugation unit and plastic hinge lines, the yield and crushing strengths of corrugation unit were analyzed. This study shows that as the compressive stress increases, the second-order corrugation core layer is firstly crushed, and the first-order corrugation structures gradually compacted until the failure of entire structure. The corrugation type has an obvious influence on the yield strength of the corrugation sandwich panel, and the yield strength of B-flute corrugation sandwich panel is wholly higher than that of the C-flute structure. At the same compression rate, the flute type has a significant impact on energy absorption, and the C-flute second-order corrugation sandwich panel has better bearing capacity than the B-flute structure. The second-order corrugation sandwich panel has a better bearing capacity than the first-order structure. The static compression rate has little effect on the yield strength and deformation mode. However, with the increase of the static compression rate, the corrugation sandwich panel has a better cushioning energy absorption and material utilization rate.

Paper Honeycomb

The composite layered structures including paper corrugation, paper honeycomb and expandable polyethylene are innovative structures of cushioning energy absorption, and the compression and impact resistances of the expandable polyethylene can be enhanced by laminating the corrugated paperboard or honeycomb paperboard. This article evaluated the compression performance and cushioning energy absorption of the composite layered structures by the static compression and drop impact compression tests. On one hand, the static compression properties showed that the total energy absorption, energy absorption per unit volume and stroke efficiency of the composite layered structures were all higher than those of expandable polyethylene. The specific energy absorption was enhanced with the increase in compression strain but almost not affected by the compression rate. The specific energy absorption of the composite layered structures including the expandable polyethylene and honeycomb paperboard was greater than those of the expandable polyethylene and corrugated paperboard. The energy absorption efficiency of the composite layered structures including the expandable polyethylene and corrugated paperboard was large for the low compression stress level, yet that of the composite layered structures including the expandable polyethylene and honeycomb paperboard was large for the high compression stress level. On the other hand, the dynamic compression characteristics showed that the peak stress, energy absorption per unit area, energy absorption per unit volume and specific energy absorption of the composite layered structures embodying paper sandwich cores and expandable polyethylene had linear increasing trends with the increase of drop shock energy. At the same drop impact condition, the composite layered structures including the honeycomb paperboard and expandable polyethylene had better cushioning energy absorption, the peak stress decreased by 23.6% on average, the energy absorption efficiency raised by 8.85% on average and the specific energy absorption increased by 18.1% on average than those including the corrugated paperboard and expandable polyethylene. Therefore, the corrugated paperboard and honeycomb paperboard can helpfully improve the cushioning energy absorption of the expandable polyethylene, and the composite layered structures embodying the expandable polyethylene, corrugated paperboard and honeycomb paperboard may hold excellent packaging protection.

The influence of temperature and relative humidity on the moisture content of paper honeycomb sandwich panels was studied. The moisture content of paper honeycomb sandwich panels was fitted by three mathematical models. The fitting results were evaluated by experimental data, and the best fitting model and its parameters were determined. The results indicate that in three models, the GAB (Guggenheim, Anderson and De Boer) model is the best suited to predict the moisture content of paper honeycomb sandwich panels in different temperature and humidity conditions.
