What data should I look for beyond just the “peak load” in a compression test report?

While peak load (BCT) is key, the full force-deformation curve provides invaluable insights:

  • Stiffness (Slope): Indicates how rigid the package is.

  • Energy to Failure (Area under curve): Measures total toughness.

  • Deformation at Peak Load: Shows how much the box bulges before collapsing.
    Our advanced software automatically calculates and reports these parameters, giving you a complete picture of package performance for superior design analysis.
