Abstract: Based on stress-strain curves of honeycomb paperboards with different thickness-to-length ratios under dynamic compression in different relative humidities, the energy-absorption diagrams were molded and constructed, which included the information of thickness-to-length ratios and relative humidity conditions. The energy-absorption point shifts to the lower left and the energy-absorption capacity per unit volume decreases with the relative humidity increases. The energy-absorption diagram was used in a project case to guide the package design.
