Effect of Orientation and Strain Rate on Crush Strength of Cellulose Fiberboard Assemblies
Cane fiberboard is widely used as the impact absorption and thermal insulation material in overpacks for radioactive materials packages. The study described here investigated the properties of cane fiberboard assemblies under conditions important to radioactive materials packaging applications. Tests were performed for loading perpendicular and parallel to the planes of the fiberboard sheets for both slow and impact strain rates. Specimens loaded parallel to the plane of the fiberboard typically fail by buckling and consequently are less stiff than those loaded perpendicular to the plane of the fiberboard sheets. Specimens subjected to impact loading appear stiffer than those tested at slow strain rates.
