The dynamic simulation and analytical mean load values as function of filler<br />

relative density are further shown in Figure 9.3(a). In the dynamic simulation, the<br />

analytic approach for predicting mean load values is shown to found ineffective in<br />

Figure 9.3(a) since it underestimates the mean loads of the <strong>boxes</strong> with montage plates.<br />

Figure 9.3(b) shows the variation of mean load values with the box thickness and the<br />

foam filler relative density. The simulation mean load values shown in the same figure<br />

increase with increasing both thicknesses and foam filler density.<br />
