Reference
A stated basis for comparing observations.
Resolution
The smallest change represented by a measuring system.
Repeatability
The consistency of observations under the same conditions.
Boundary
The conditions and limits chosen for a study.
  1. Define
    State the reference and the purpose of the comparison.
  2. Observe
    A load path describes how forces pass through a structure.
  3. Record
    Keep the conditions and observations together.
  4. Review
    Separate the result from the assumptions used to interpret it.
Reference note

Boundary conditions influence deformation.
