failure. From the analysis it was instead observed that the in-plane failure occurs at
the zones with higher strains in the loading direction.

internal structure and deformation of paperboard. (Less) - Popular Abstract
- Paperboard undergoes changes in its mechanical properties when subjected to loading. To increase the
knowledge about the mechanisms active during loading, it is of interest to understand how the internal
structure of paperboard evolves. It was found that neither sample geometry nor delamination within
the paperboard affect the cohesive failure. One observed mechanism during tensile loading was a
thickness increase immediately after load was applied. The thickness increase continued during the
experiment, and resulted in delamination close to failure. In addition, when analysing the normal
strain-field in the loading direction, localisation of zones with higher strains were observed.
