Materials behaviors are necessary to be understood in manufacturing consumers’ products. Failure test and analysis is an essential tool to validate the strength of these products like 10-litre gallon under certain conditions. Stiffness, flexural and nonlinear analyses are carried out in a 1.8mm wall thickness 10-liter polyethylene gallon. The test results shows possible areas liable to failures for the products and possible stress concentration zone when loaded vertically and laterally respectively. This will enable the manufacturers design an instruction guild on the product for the consumers. Structural responses as creep, impact and fatigue on the product are long term values that are not discussed here. This will enable the gallon product to withstand severe stacking condition involving shocks when transported with liquid product.
