Figure 8.7. Response surface of SEA of filled <strong>boxes</strong>; a) Alulight and b) Hydro foam<br />

filling.<br />

R 2 , Radj 2 and RMS values of filled box response functions are tabulated in Table<br />

8.4. R 2 and Radj 2 values listed in Table 8.4 confirm that the fitted quadratic objective<br />

functions effectively represent the mean load and SEA values of the <strong>boxes</strong>. The RMSE<br />

values of Alulight and Hydro foam filled 1050H14 Al <strong>crash</strong> <strong>boxes</strong> are higher than those<br />

of Alulight and Hydro foam filled 6061T4 Al <strong>boxes</strong>. The optimum box thickness and<br />
