Abstract
EN This research explores how temperature and relative humidity impact the mechanical properties of corrugated cardboard. Samples were treated under a range of controlled climate conditions in a climate chamber to simulate varying environmental exposures. Following this conditioning, we performed a series of mechanical tests: the Edge Crush Test (ECT) to assess compressive strength, four-point Bending Tests (BNTs) in both the Machine (MD) and Cross Directions (CD) to evaluate bending stiffness, Sample Torsion Tests (SSTs) for shear stiffness, and Transverse Shear Tests (TSTs) to measure torsional rigidity. By comparing results across these tests, we aim to determine which mechanical property shows the highest sensitivity to changes in humidity levels. Findings from this study are expected to offer valuable insights into the environmental adaptability of corrugated board, particularly for applications in packaging and storage, where climate variability can affect material performance and durability. Such insights will support the development of more robust and adaptable packaging solutions optimised for specific climate conditions.
