Abstract

AbstractLaminated paperboard is widely used in packaging products. It usually consists of multiple layers bonded to each other by starch or adhesion. The indentation of fold lines (creasing) plays a crucial role during the whole converting process. It is important to control delamination and other damage effects to arrive at commercial cartons with high quality. Thus, the aim of this study is to describe the material behavior of a laminated paperboard during the creasing process. The paperboard was considered as a laminate of three different layers, and each was modeled separately with an anisotropic elastic‐plastic material model while a cohesive zone approach described the opening behavior in between. The initial yielding was given by the Hill's 48 yield criterion, while the isotropic strain hardening was described by a power law hardening function. To calibrate the material parameters, a sequence of tensile and compression tests was conducted for each layer in different directions to account for the material's anisotropy. Finally, the creasing process was investigated using a two‐dimensional plane strain finite element model. (© 2014 Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
