Abstract In this paper, the Self-Optimizing Inverse Method (Self-OPTIM) has been experimentally verified by identifying constitutive parameters solely based on prescribed boundary loadings without full-field displacements. Recently the Self-OPTIM methodology was developed as a computational inverse analysis tool that can identify parameters of nonlinear material constitutive models. However, the methodology was demonstrated only by numerically simulated testing with full-field displacement fields and prescribed boundary loadings. The Self-OPTIM is capable of identifying parameters of the chosen class of material constitutive models through minimization of an implicit objective function defined as a function of full-field stress and strain fields in the optimization process.… More >
