A Full-Field Calibration Approach on Material Parameter Identification

Nowadays the possibility to accurately simulate steel alloys is crucial to expect accurate results in crash analysis. Just as much as welding spots, innovative materials like polymers or composites more predictive steel material models are continually sought after throughout the industry. Complex models require a significant effort to calibrate them to the physical behaviour of the materials, but they can perform better. This work will evaluate and compare different techniques to characterize materials for finite element simulations.
