Cáceres-Naranjo, D. ; González, Pablo ; Pérez, María Ángeles (Universidad de Zaragoza) ; Calvo, S.

Resumen: ABSTRACTThis study addresses the challenges in designing packaging to withstand dynamic loads while considering environmental impact and avoiding polymeric materials. It introduces a novel experimental equipment capable of measuring packaging behaviour under corner impacts. The research aims to fill the gap in design tools for non‐flat impact scenarios. By measuring acceleration through dummy products, the study overcomes limitations in cushioning curves. Results offer insights into the dynamic response of packaging systems, aiding in the selection of suitable materials and configurations. Visual analysis enhances understanding of corner protection placement, optimizing energy dissipation. The developed experimental device facilitates rapid data generation, enabling scalable application to corner drop designs, thus serving as a valuable tool in packaging optimization efforts.
