Identification of the through-thickness properties of thick laminated tubes using the virtual fields method

Applying the Virtual Fields Method to the identification of elasto-plastic constitutive parameters

“…This procedure has been proposed by Grédiac (1989) and has been successfully applied in several cases, (Grédiac et al, 1998;Pierron et al, 2000;Giraudeau and Pierron, 2003;Chalal et al, 2004) for instance.…”

Elastic stiffness characterization using three-dimensional full-field deformation obtained with optical coherence tomography and digital volume correlation

“…This method is more effective than FEMU in terms of computation time since for the latter, an FE model needs to be created and updated iteratively. So far, the VFM has successfully been applied to the identification of constitutive parameters for linear elastic materials such as composites, [30][31][32][33] elasto-plasticity for metals [34][35][36] as well as hyperelasticity for soft and biological materials such as artery walls. 37,38 The aim of this study is to develop an effective methodology to investigate the internal deformation behavior of silicone rubber phantoms under load and to identify their elastic stiffness parameters.…”

The Virtual Fields Method for Extracting Constitutive Parameters From Full‐Field Measurements: a Review

“…A first theoretical and numerical study was released a few years ago [45] and the experimental implementation has just been completed very recently. The mechanical set-up is shown in Figure 2.…”
