The work aims to study how to reasonably design and safely check the package pad of the flat-panel TV. The suitable cushion pad was selected according to the five-step design method for the cushioning package. The simulation model was established with the finite element software ABAQUS and the unit grid was divided. In combination with the explicit dynamics principle and the relationship between the elastic potential energy and the time when the flat-panel TV hit the ground, the cushioning stress analysis and strength test of the pad were carried out. Based on the simulation analysis, the impact stress of the flat-panel TV hitting the ground was far less than the maximum stress to be borne by the pad. In the distribution process of the flat-panel TV, the cushion pad made of polystyrene foam can protect the product effectively.
