This paper presents two procedures for the identification of material parameters, a genetic
algorithm and a gradient-based algorithm. These algorithms enable both the yield criterion …

This paper deals with the identification of constitutive parameters governing elasto-plastic
constitutive equations. The procedure used is the virtual fields method. It consists in writing …

The aim of this paper is to provide a general procedure to extract the constitutive parameters
of a plasticity model starting from displacement measurements and using the Virtual Fields …

The bi-axial experimental equipment [Flores, P., Rondia, E., Habraken, AM, 2005a.
Development of an experimental equipment for the identification of constitutive laws (Special …

In this paper an anisotropic material model based on non-associated flow rule and mixed
isotropic–kinematic hardening was developed and implemented into a user-defined material …

This work deals with the characterization of the kinematic work-hardening of a bake-
hardening steel. A shear test device has been designed and its use for the characterization …

Although steel has been used in vehicles from the automotive industry׳ s inception, different
steel grades are continually being developed in order to satisfy new fuel economy …

This paper presents an experimental validation of the use of the virtual fields method to
identify the elasto-plastic behaviour of an iron specimen from full-field measurements with …

A new technique for characterizing end-supported microbeams of coating materials is
presented. Microbeams are fabricated using micro-EDM machining to isolate the material …

Finite plastic bending attracts researchers' attention due to its importance for identifying
material properties and frequent occurrence in sheet metal forming processes. The present …
