An optimization search for a parameter set to minimize the error between displacement test and analysis was unable to reduce the displacement norm error to less than 1.22 in. For most parameter values the error was well within 1:22=p3inches in any particular direction. Overall, in order to reconcile the analysis with test results one needs to consider both tests: vibration and impact. Recall that the vibration test results suggested that the modulus of the material needed to be reduced to 71 % of their original values
