Finite Element Simulation of Molded Pulp Pallet in the Dropping Process

Article Preview

Abstract:

Molded pulp pallet is a kind of new green material pallet which has a broad development prospects. In this paper, ABAQUS software was applied to simulate the situation that molded pulp pallet dropped from different heights in different ways. Stress field and displacement field of the pallet are obtained. Cushioning property and deformation of the molded pulp pallet were analyzed. The work of this paper could give a significant guide to design the molded pulp pallet.
