All mass distributed on all tubes vs. Specific mass distributed on respective tubes Front 30 Wall - All mass on all tubes Max = 359.41MPa  Corresponding Mass Setup  Front 30 - Realistic Mass Max: 305.73MPa  Conclusion: not a significant effect, 50MPa by drastically altering the weight distribution; but an effect nonetheless |
