An LS-OPT® methodology for utilizing partial curve data for the calibration of material models

Parameter estimation is a considerably large application area of optimization. It fulfills the important purpose of characterizing materials based on models available in Finite Element analysis software such as LS-DYNA®. The development of special LS-OPT® features for parameter estimation using Digital Image Correlation and other experimental methods has been ongoing for a number of years. In earlier papers [1,2] some of the available similarity measures as well as the LS-OPT DIC methodology were discussed in broad detail and illustrated with examples.
