Numerical simulations have become essential in engineering and manufacturing processes
involving plasticity. The reliability and effectiveness of the simulations depend strongly on …

Sum-of-square based error formulations may be difficult to implement on an inverse analysis
consisting of multiple tension-compression hysteresis loops. Five alternative measures of …

This article is a review regarding recently developed inverse strategies coupled with finite
element simulations for the identification of the parameters of constitutive laws that describe …

The calibration of phenomenological constitutive material models has been a constant need,
because the parameters differ for each material and the ability of a model to mimic the real …

This paper presents an approach for the automatic parameter calibration (AC) of a
hypoplastic constitutive soil model. The calibration software developed in this work simplifies …

In theory, a single non-conventional mechanical experiment generating inhomogeneous
strain fields enables to inversely identify an anisotropic yield function. However, several …

The generalized plasticity theory has evolved in the last decades and attracts the attention of
different research groups, because of characteristics like the absence of an explicit flow …

Video based motion analysis, which aims to acquire the whole posture data by simple
camera and without placing sensors on the body parts, has become the major analysis …

Because the design of most products incorporates numerical analysis such as the finite
element method, these days, accurate determination of dynamic material model parameters …

In this work, optimisation-based techniques for solving inverse problems are examined and
explored, specifically addressing the challenges posed by expensive-to-evaluate black-box …
