Mechanics of Paper Products 

Author: Kaarlo Niskanen 

• Problem-based approach to help students to develop effective skills for solving problems in new product development
• Paper and board specific topics such as loading and strength of board boxes, stress-strain behavior, fracture mechanics, creep and hygroexpansion and micromechanics of paper products, extension to biocomposites
• High quality color illustrations

Aims and Scope
This graduate level textbook focuses on the mechanical properties and performance of products made of fiber-based materials such as paper and board. The book aims to help students develop effective skills for solving problems of product performance and engineering challenges in new product development. Therefore the material is organized with a problem-based approach - a practical example of product performance is presented and then the relevant mechanics are analyzed to deduce which material properties control the performance.
