Modeling Palletized Products: The Case of Semi-Filled Bottles under Top-Load Conditions

An investigation on numerical methods able to simplify the mechanical behavior of PET bottles, partially filled with liquid, under compression loadings is presented here. Compressive stress conditions on bottles are very common during their transportation and can be accompanied by large deformations...
