Study Notes
Impact Testing
- Drop Test: Samples are dropped from various heights to identify the critical height at which bruising begins.
- Impact Surfaces: Different surfaces, like soil or concrete, are used to analyze damage severity and the cushioning effect of materials like foam or fiberboard.
- Falling Mass Test: A known mass is dropped onto a secured sample, measuring impact force.
- Pendulum Test: A swinging mass hits a secured sample, allowing for varying drop heights and impact points.
- Impact Ram Test: Uses projectiles propelled by springs or compressed air to strike a sample, measuring force and damage.
Vibration Resistance
- Definition: Ability of a product to withstand vibrations caused by rapid cyclical movements.
- Importance: Prevents damage, ensures safety, and extends product lifespan.
- Intensity Factors:
- Amplitude: The maximum extent of vibration.
- Frequency: The rate of vibration cycles.
- Material Properties: Damping ratio and stiffness influence resistance.
- Duration Factors:
- Fatigue Life: Number of vibration cycles before failure.
- Damping Capacity: Ability to dissipate vibrational energy.
- Environmental Factors: Temperature, humidity, and chemical exposure affect resistance over time.
Vibration Resistance Measurement
- Simulated Tests: Samples are placed on a vibrating platform in a controlled environment.
- Methods:
- Accelerometers: Measure acceleration forces during transport.
- Shock and Vibration Test Platforms: Simulate transport vibrations on agricultural products.
- Instrumented Dummy Products: Measure vibration response using sensorized versions of agricultural products.
- Packaging Testing: Evaluate packaging materials' ability to protect products from vibrations.
Conclusion
- These measurement methods help design better packaging, optimize transport conditions, and improve product durability against vibrations.
