Normally the cans would expand along the length of the can; this is due to the seams that are incorporated at the top and bottom of the can. This expansion continues until the pressure is reduced sufficiently or the material fails. However, if the ends of the cans are constrained, in this case by the reinforced parts of the carton, the cylinder cannot expand longitudinally and, instead, expands circumferentially. This explains the various failure modes observed. </blockquote> <p class="initial">Well that explained the how, but they still had another aspect that needed to be addressed. <p> <p> <p> <p> <p> <p> <p> <p> <center> <table border="1" cellpadding="2" bgcolor=#cccc66> <tr> <td><a href="ca18.html"><font color=#ff0000>Previous</font></td> <td><a href="ca1.html">Pg 1</a></td> <td><a href="ca2.html" >Pg 2</a></td> <td><a href="ca3.html" >Pg 3</a></td> <td><a href="ca4.html" >Pg 4</a></td> <td><a href="ca5.html" >Pg 5</a></td> <td><a href="ca6.html" >Pg 6</a></td> <td><a href="ca7.html" >Pg 7</a></td> <td><a href="ca8.html" >Pg 8</a></td> <td><a href="ca9.html" >Pg 9</a></td> <td><a href="ca10.html" >Pg 10</a></td> <td><a href="ca11.html" >Pg 11</a></td> <td><a href="ca12.html" >Pg 12</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="ca13.html" >Pg 13</a></td> <td><a href="ca14.html" >Pg 14</a></td> <td><a href="ca15.html" >Pg 15</a></td> <td><a href="ca16.html" >Pg 16</a></td> <td><a href="ca17.html" >Pg 17</a></td> <td><a href="ca18.html" >Pg 18</a></td> <td><a href="ca19.html" ><font color=#33cc66>Pg 19</font></a></td> <td><a href="ca20.html" >Pg 20</a></td> <td><a href="ca21.html" >Pg 21</a></td> <td><a href="ca22.html" >Pg 22</a></td> <td><a href="ca23.html" >Pg 23</a></td> <td><a href="ca24.html" >Pg 24</a></td> <td><a href="ca20.html" ><font color=#ff0000>NEXT</font></a></td> </tr> </table> </center> </body> </html>
