Effect of Temperature Changes on the Vibration Transmissibility of XPE and PE Packaging Cushioning Material

Polyethylene (PE) and its variations are among the most traditional materials used for cushioning in packaging systems. The role of these is to prevent damages during handling distribution processes from physical events such as vibration stress. This study presents new results on characterization properties PE XPE (cross-linked polyethylene) materials, which have significant relevance a protective mechanism due their transmissibility frequency curve properties. main goal this evaluation cushion material at varied real temperature static load conditions through series experiments using tester climate chamber determine peak frequencies, transmissibility, damping ratios. can be by engineers package-design process, useful different conditions. Three kinds loads 0.5 oct/min sine sweep test were find frequencies −20 °C, 0 20 °C 40 estimate provided better understanding assist design suitable
