Evaluation of the MD shear test method as a criterion for predicting box compressive strength
… a composite sandwich type material used in the packaging industry worldwide. In the design of corrugated boxes, the stacking strength is an important design parameter. Current research shows that box failure is influenced by the flexural rigidities of the panel and its transverse shear rigidities. …
