An Optimized Loading Path for Material Parameters Identification in Elastoplasticity

Abstract:

Presently, the need to characterize the constitutive parameters of materials has increased due to the manufacture of new materials and development of computational analysis software intending to reproduce the real behavior which depends on the quality of the models implemented and their material parameters. However, in order to identify all constitutive parameters of materials a large number of mechanical tests is required. Thus, only one mechanical test that could allow to characterize all the mechanical properties could be desired. Hence, the aim of this work is to propose a methodology that find the most informative loading path in the sense of display normal and shear strains as clear aspossible to warrantee that the solution is the most unique and distinguishable for the parameter identification process. To achieve this objective the proposed methodology uses Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) coupled together with optimization strategies. Thismethodology is presented for elastoplasticity behavior.
