Abstract
This study explores the damping characteristics of packaging fillers using static compression experiments. A custom-designed test rig was employed to analyze EPE pearl cotton under varying sample conditions and parameters. Experimental data were used to propose a modified damping model that better fits foam materials, reducing errors compared to the Hertz model. The study highlights the influence of thickness and compression speed on damping, while density and diameter showed minimal impact. Further validation through impact testing is required, and future work will explore alternative materials such as air bags and particulate fillers.
