ABSTRACT The fracture mechanics properties of injection-moulded low-density polyethylene (LDPE) sheets were investigated both experimentally and numerically. The total work of fracture was determined experimentally, by means of fracture mechanics testing of sheets of injection-moulded LDPE with side cracks of different lengths. A multi-specimen method, proposed by Kim and Joe (1987), was employed. The total […]

Packages are the means of preservation, distribution and convenience of use for food, medicine and other consumer products. Introduction of new packaging materials or package opening techniques for better user experience, forces new design measurements which require a large number of prototype developments and physical testing. In order to achieve more rapid and robust designs, […]
