AN INVESTIGATION OF THE EIAXIAL FAILURE ENVELOPE OF PAPER: EXPERIMENTAL STUDY AND THEORETICAL ANALYSIS Christer Fellers, Bo Westerlind and Alf de Ruvo, Swedish Forest Products Research Laboratory, Box 5604, S-114 86 Stockholm, Sweden . Abstract In the theoretical part of this paper,, the Tsai-Wu tensor theory is used to determine the equation for the biaxial strength envelope of a material . One great advantage of using the Tsai-Wu theory for investigating biaxial strength envelopes is that it may be transformed to arbitrary co-ordinate axes by means of tensor transformation laws . In the experimental part of the paper, the strengths in compression and shear are evaluated using thick-walled tubes consisting of two layers of paper glued together with a non penetrating glue . In addition, the strength of paper under biaxial stress is determined by subjecting paper tubes to axial tension or compression combined with a radial tension caused by internal pressure . In the final part of the paper, the application of the Tsai- Wu tensor theory to the prediction of failure of a corrugated container is discussed, as well as practical means of limiting the number of experiments necessary to establish the biaxial failure envelope of paper . 527 Preferred citation: C.
