EN This article presents an extended numerical approach for evaluating the dynamic response of corrugated cardboard transport packaging under simulated transport conditions. Building upon a simplified method previously introduced, this study integrates a more comprehensive Finite Element Analysis (FEA) framework to capture the non-linear behaviour of packaging subjected to vertical random vibrations. The proposed model employs dynamic, modal, and contact analyses to simulate the deformation of packaging and subsequent strength reduction over multiple impact cycles, reflecting real-world conditions more accurately. The developed approach gives detailed insights into the structural degradation of packaging due to repetitive transport loads and validates the findings through comparative compression tests. The results show that enhanced numerical methods improve the accuracy of load-bearing predictions, thereby supporting optimisation in packaging design for various geometries and transport scenarios. This method offers a valuable tool for evaluating the sustainability and cost-effectiveness of packaging solutions in logistics.
