A Transport Packaging Forum paper on the comparison between the stress-energy method and ASTM D1596 was presented in 2010. Preliminary results indicated a strong correlation between actual and predicted acceleration levels. This work represents a continuation of this initial study. A unique approach was utilized to further this comparison in order to validate the stress-energy method as an alternative analysis methodology to that presented in ASTM D1596. Three different techniques are used to compare the analysis methods. This paper details the techniques used which involves regression analysis and the use of control limits to make direct comparison to cushion curves generated using ASTM D1596.
