7.7 Validation based on different joint configurations
The validation is based on reference tests for partially potted inserts and corner joints.
The implementation of these tests as virtual test using the developed approach is outlined in this sub-section. However, the following validation is focused on Phase 1 –
Phase 3, since the primary objective is to demonstrate the capability to implement virtual tests and not to demonstrate the application of virtual tests in design studies.
7.7.1 Partially potted inserts
In case of partially potted inserts, two reference tests have been implemented as virtual
test. These include out-of-plane tension and in in-plane shear. The corresponding reference tests are described in section 6.1 from p. 95 onwards. Figure 110 summarizes the
material configuration of the joint and the test setups.
