7. Summary of results

The results of the four models are close to the analytical solution:

• DKTG: maximum \(6\text{\%}\) difference for travel, and \(5\text{\%}\) for the moment and curvature.

• Q4GG: maximum \(1\text{\%}\) difference for travel, and \(0.5\text{\%}\) for the moment and the curvature.

These models validate:

• modeling DKTG with model GLRC_DAMAGE in elastic behavior.

• Q4GG modeling with model ELAS.
