George, I have to admit to having trouble following your information on your page. There is no mention of a load factor until you graph it. What is it and how does it relate back to reality? Is higher "better" or "worse"? Can you explain what you feel your conclusions are based on this modeling? If you were to perform an imaginary "ideal" physical test, what would the results look like? How much more/less energy can a 1/4" wood - 6 oz glass panel absorb than an 1/8" - 4 oz? Which can I hit harder with a sledge hammer before it fails and how does your information show it.

Help me out here. Nick
