The current paper summarizes studies undertaken on the corrugated cardboard. In these studies, a new approach considering the corrugated cardboard as an orthotropic material is developed. This approach permits after homogenization to simplify the numerical calculations and then use a 2D meshing of the corrugated cardboard, instead of a 3D meshing. This will makes it possible to obtain less heavy and less expensive numerical dimensioning studies. The first stage of the studies was a determination of the behaviours of the sandwich and its constituents, which passes by the definition of experimental protocols. Thereafter, an analytical model was proposed and permits to predict the homogenized behaviour of the corrugated cardboard. Finally a tool of decision-making aid was proposed.
