The constructed response surface of mean load and SEA vs. box wall thickness<br />

and foam relative density graphs of filled 1050H14 Al <strong>boxes</strong> are shown sequentially in<br />

Figure 8.3(a) and (b). Figure 8.4(a) and (b) show the simulation and RSM mean load<br />

and SEA response surfaces, respectively. R 2 , Radj 2 and RMSE values of partially<br />

Alulight foam filled <strong>boxes</strong> are further listed in Table 8.1. Relatively higher values of R 2<br />

and Radj 2 and relatively smaller values of RMSE confirm the agreement between<br />

experimental and simulated response surfaces.<br />
