Abstract
Engineering structures are designed to transfer external loads to their supports. Therefore, it is necessary to study the pattern of load transfer. The U<SUP align="right"><SMALL>*</SMALL></SUP> index method has been introduced to follow the load path in the structure. The U<SUP align="right"><SMALL>*</SMALL></SUP> value at each point corresponds to its significance in the load carrying process. The U<SUP align="right"><SMALL>*</SMALL></SUP> index theory has been used as a new design approach in lightweight vehicle structures but there has not been any experimental validation of this theory. In this study, two experiments are presented to show that the U<SUP align="right"><SMALL>*</SMALL></SUP>index is a true indicator of load transfer in the structure and areas with higher U<SUP align="right"><SMALL>*</SMALL></SUP> index values indeed carry more load. The results also prove the insensitivity of the U<SUP align="right"><SMALL>*</SMALL></SUP> index to stress concentrations. This study presents the first experimental validation of the U<SUP align="right"><SMALL>*</SMALL></SUP> index theory which is important to this new approach for light-weight vehicle structural design.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
