Abstract

With two original packages taken from the stock of used transport containers, seven drop tests were performed. The test objects was applied with accelerometers and strain gauges outside and inside. From the measured values diagrams for deceleration, velocity, and displacement, as well as for strain were generated. From the results information of the different behavior of the single components of the package during the period of the impact were taken. This paper describes the tests and the results in detail.
