Dynamic loads causes thefracture of the containers at cold chain (-20 ° C) food transportation. Low temperature increases fragility ofpolypropylene storage containers. Besides, some additives cannot be usedfor increasing the fracture strength of the polypropylene storage container ifit carries food. In fact, many of these additives contain ingredients that posea threat to human health. This is particularly required to take some specialprecaution for the transport of foodstuffs. This means the increase oftransportation costs. In this study,computer aided fracture analysis of these thin walled polypropylene foodcontainers under dynamic loads has been studied by using MSC.Dytran. CR - Shonaike, G.O., Advani, S.G.
