Handbook of Physical Testing of Paper

Richard E. Mark, Charles Habeger, Jens Borch, Bruce M. Lyne

"Praise for the first editions... ...much more than the title suggests--this is knowledge....as close to the state-of-the-art as one can hope to come.... ...The balance between completeness and readability is quite well struck....the most useful results are available right there in the book."---Tappi Journal, 1985

• Part 1 Theory and test for mechanical parameters: models for describing the elastic, viscoelastic, and inelastic mechanical behaviour of paper and board; viscoelastic properties; dimensional stability and environmental effects on paper properties; moisture-accelerated creep; bending stiffness, with special reference to paperboard; ultrasonic determinations of paper stiffness parameters; deformation and failure behaviour of paper; fracture of paper; edgewise compression strength of paper; residual stresses in paper and board. Part 2 Special situations - mechanical properties of products: corrugated board; physical and mechanical properties of towel and tissue. Part 3 Structural parameters - fibers, bonds, and paper: fiber structure; mechanical properties of fibers; determination of fiber-fiber bond properties; sheet structure.
