This book is intended primarily for those concerned with the design of cushioning systems for the protection of fragile items in shipment. It should be pointed out, however, that this is not a design handbook. It does not provide "cookbook" methods for the solution of package cushioning design problems. Instead, it guides the designer to the tools he needs to solve these problems.The material contained here applies not only to package cushioning design, but also anywhere that shock and vibration are isolated by materials with distributed mass and elasticity. The contents should be helpful to those concerned with aerial delivery, space vehicle recovery and the isolation of underground structures from ground shock.

Covering many techniques widely used in research, this book will help researchers in the physical sciences and engineering solve troublesome - and potentially very time consuming - problems in their work. The book deals with technical difficulties that often arise unexpectedly during the use of various common experimental methods, as well as with human error. It provides preventive measures and solutions for such problems, thereby saving valuable time for researchers. Some of the topics covered are: sudden leaks in vacuum systems, electromagnetic interference in electronic instruments, vibrations in sensitive equipment, and bugs in computer software. The book also discusses mistakes in mathematical calculations, and pitfalls in designing and carrying out experiments. Each chapter contains a summary of its key points, to give a quick overview of important potential problems and their solutions in a given area.

Supplies essential techniques needed for protective packaging Explains testing required for container performance Covers distribution packaging for food, healthcare, electronics, as well as hazardous and regulated materials Reviews basic math and physics fundamentals for students and professionals Protective Packaging Development offers a comprehensive practical explanation of the methods needed to improve packaging design in multiple distribution environments. It combines a clear presentation of protective packaging basics with details on how to obtain and apply experimental data to the design of new packaging. In this context it covers the materials, testing, regulations and manufacturing of a wide range of product and shipping containers. Written by two of the most respected packaging authorities in the U.S., the book covers packaging mathematics and physics in a clear step-by-step way and shows with numerous real-world examples how these concepts are applied to design strategies. In this unique book students and professionals are given the testing and data information required for creating a wide range of protective packaging systems within numerous product categories such as electronics, healthcare, and food. Also covered are container requirements and tests for hazardous and regulated materials.
