What is drop test method?

Drop testing is a procedure used to evaluate how a package and its contents react to impacts such as free-falls, tumbles, and other types of handling during the shipping and distribution environment.

Why drop test is done?

A drop test is a test designed to examine the structural integrity of a product. Drop tests usually involve an object being dropped from a predefined height onto a second object or surface. The object being tested can be either the dropped object or the object/surface that an object is being dropped on to.

What type of test is a drop test?

Drop testing is an accelerated test designed to indicate structural and mechanical weaknesses of types not necessarily detected in shock and vibration tests. Drop testing can help determine the survivability of a product’s packaging.

What is drop test in packaging?

A drop test simulates the freefall of package on its corners, edges and surfaces. To achieve this the packaging is filled with the envisaged products and dropped from a defined height. This enables realistic conditions encountered during shipment to be simulated.

How do you do a drop test?

Package drop test procedure

1. Randomly choose a packaged carton from the available master cartons as a testing sample.
2. Find a suitable testing area with a flat and hard floor.
3. Drop the carton from the appropriate height 10 times from different sides.
4. Open the carton and verify the condition of packaging and products inside.

How do you conduct a drop test?

What is the DOP test?

Dispersed Oil Particulate (DOP) testing, also known as filter integrity testing, is the process in which the integrity of your HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) or ULPA (Ultra Low Penetration Air) filter is challenged through introducing particulates and measuring the output.

What is Amazon drop test?

A drop test is used to determine if packaging and containers can withstand multiple drops from different angles. These drop variations help to simulate transportation to customers.

What solver does the drop test simulation utilize?

The drop test simulation in SolidWorks uses the explicit solution technology. Although both approaches are equally accu- rate, implicit solutions of impact problems such as dynamic drop tests take longer to solve.

What material models are supported for drop test analysis?

Apply Materials Linear-elastic or elastoplastic material can be defined for the drop test. For most simulation studies in SOLIDWORKS Simulation Professional, we use linear elastic materials. In a drop test, if you have the material data, it is desirable to define an elastoplastic material.

How do you drop test a battery?

Drop each battery (with the flat, negative end down) from a couple of inches up. If the battery is charged, it should make a solid thud and most likely stay standing. If, however, the battery is dead, it will bounce and fall over immediately.
