Model Validation

Validation process

Model validation and uncertainty quantification for simulating dynamics of complex mechanical interfaces:

The W76 for forward mount (left) is modeled in detail (center) and then subjected to impulse loading (right) regions of high stress appear in red. By analyzing experimental data and assessing model responses over a wide range of simulated events, developers refine and validate the model.
