The McKee equation has been the basis of corrugated compression for over 50 years. It was developed using panel bending theory and empirically fit to box compression data. However, it is only valid for a regular slotted container (RSC).
By utilizing pressure pad technology, the actual load distribution across the box panels can be measured. The pressure pad technology is a matrix of strain gauges that measure the load at each point of the mat. The pads are used in a wide variety of applications from automotive to medical. They have also been used in pallet research to evaluate the load distribution on pallet deckboards.
This research has focused on developing a technique to first evaluate the load distribution to the theoretical distribution found in the McKee equation. The second part of the research will evaluate the load distribution and development of a predictive equation for a bliss style box.
