Introduction
Test boxes are commonly used in various industries to transport and store items. The handles on these boxes are crucial for easy lifting and carrying. However, the mechanical strength and durability of these handles are often overlooked. This research aims to investigate the mechanical strength and durability of test box handles.
Methodology
1. Test box handles were selected from various manufacturers and materials, including plastic, metal, and rubber.
2. The handles were subjected to a series of tests, including tensile strength, bending strength, and impact resistance.
3. The durability of the handles was also tested by simulating repeated lifting and carrying of the test boxes.
4. The data collected from the tests were analyzed to determine the mechanical strength and durability of each handle.
Results
5. The results showed that plastic handles had the lowest mechanical strength and durability, while metal handles had the highest.
6. Rubber handles had good impact resistance but were prone to wear and tear after repeated use.
7. The durability tests revealed that all handles showed signs of wear and tear after a certain number of repetitions, with metal handles being the most durable.
Conclusion
Based on the results of this research, it is recommended that test box handles be made of metal for maximum mechanical strength and durability. However, rubber handles may be suitable for items that require impact resistance. Manufacturers should also consider the design and ergonomics of the handles to ensure ease of use and prevent injury.
