The virtual fields method has been developed for extracting constitutive parameters from full‐
field measurements provided by optical non‐contact techniques for instance. It is based on …

With the advent of camera‐based full‐field measurement techniques such as digital image
correlation (DIC), researchers have been trying to exploit such rich data sets through the use …

Digital image correlation is a measurement technique that allows one to retrieve
displacement fields' separating'two digital images of the same sample at different stages of …

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 …

This paper deals with the application of the virtual fields method (VFM) to the identification of
constants governing anisotropic constitutive equations. After a short recalling of the main …

A methodology is presented to directly measure the damage properties and strain softening
response of laminated composites by conducting over-height compact tension (OCT) and …

Abstract As any Digital Image Correlation (DIC) method, Finite-Element (FE) based DIC
methods lead to uncertainties which are related to the spatial resolution (in pixel/element) …

Constitutive parameter identification has been greatly improved by the achievement of full‐
field measurements. In this context, noise sensitivity has been shown to be of great …

The present paper is devoted to the measurement of damage by resorting to image
correlation techniques. This full-field measurement procedure gives access to 2D and 3D …

The present review provides an overview of work published in recent years dealing with the
mechanical characterization of composite materials performed by optical techniques. The …
