Abstract

Experimental evidence for a correlation between paperboard edgewise compressive strength and the product of the in-plane normal stiffness and out-of-plane shear stiffness is presented. A mathematical theory, which describes compressive failure as interlaminae shear failure due to prebuckling bending of an initially curved ‘critical’ lamina, is developed. The theory is in accord with failure analysis observations and with the empirical relationship.
