Table summarizing the data from the primary axis of variation of nodal displacement. ‘x’, ‘y’ and ‘z’ columns represent the three components of a unit vector describing the primary axis of variation of nodal displacement. The values reported in these columns reflect the mean value from the 500 sub-sampled nodes (standard deviations are in parentheses). These values indicate the primary direction of displacement. The ‘Length’ column represents the length of a vector calculated from a total least squares regression on the displacement data. The values reported in this column reflect the means values from the 500 sub-sampled nodes (standard deviations are in parentheses). This column indicates the magnitude of nodal displacement as stiffness is decreased. All values are reported in mm × 10−3.
