Validation Modelling

During the course of the development of LUSAS HPM software numerous models were created to validate results obtained against manufactured items. LUSAS HPM results for models of C-shaped laminates, exterior panels, cleated curved spars and curved spars with ply-drop off all produced very good correlation with experimental and manufactured test components.
