Some result curves against time (transmitted force and absorbed energy) obtained in the simulations of the AZT test and its comparison with the results obtained experimentally are presented here.
A good correlation level between the experimental curves and simulated ones has been achieved, so the model can be considered as representative of a real test.
The next step behind model correlation is model validation. The validation lies in checking if the model behaviour can be considered still representative under different test conditions. In this case it would be a robust model.
