Figure 78. Force deflection: Baseline versus refined mesh. Graph

This graph shows two distinct lines. The first line is colored red and is labeled A Baseline while the second is blue and is labeled B Refined Mesh. The vertical axis of this graph ranges from zero to 50and represents Force in kilonewtons while the horizontal axis of this graph ranges from zero to 200 and represents Displacement in millimeters. Both lines begin at the points of zero on both axes. Both lines follow suit spiking to the point of 46 on the vertical axis and 30 on the horizontal axis where the red line then drops to 14 on the vertical and the blue line drops to 8 on the vertical both at 7 on the horizontal axis. The red line then spikes slightly and descends across the graph coming to an end at the points of 8 on the vertical axis and 185 on the horizontal axis. The blue line then spikes slightly and descends across the graph coming to an end at the points of 2 on the vertical axis and 185 on the horizontal axis.
