Abstract: This paper analyzes the behavior of corrugated fiberboard under flatcrush loading using the elastica theory. The analysis is useful for evluating the quality of the board as well as for studying ...

Abstract: This report describes a mathematical model for fatigue strength of cellulosic materials under sinusoidal loading. The model is based on the Reiner-Weissenberg thermodynamic theory of strength in ...

Abstract: We present an analysis of time-dependent strength of cellulosic and polymeric materials under ramp loading. The analysis is based on the Reiner-Weissenberg thermodynamic theory of strength in conjunction with a nonlinear ...

Abstract: In this study, the writers used Tsai and Wu's tensor polynomial theory to rederive a formula originally derived by Cowin for shear strength variation in a plane of material symmetry of orthotropic materials. Experimental ...

Abstract: An elasticity solution is presented for a rectangular orthotropic beam under arbitrary, normal, and shear loading or support conditions, or both. The solution is shown to correlate well with experimental measurements on ...
