Simulated Proof Testing of Mortar Baseplates
Abstract
In the current environment there is a need to get material to the field faster and cheaper than ever before. This is leading to an emphasis on simulation instead of live fire testing. Additionally statistical methods are being employed to use sampling instead of full lot testing. Care must be taken in employing these methods though to ensure that the final product is as good if not superior to that obtained by traditional methods. This paper will present a method of simulated proof testing of mortar baseplates that is not only delivering high quality baseplates to the field in a timely fashion but is also saving large amounts of funding while doing so.
