Introduction
Great progress in computational mechanics
– Simulation of machining
Large strains elasto-plasticity
Large strain rates
Localization
Friction/thermal behaviour
Problem
– Many material parameters required
– How to obtain them?
F. Pierron - BSSM 50th anniversary - NPL, Teddington, 4th November 2014 2/32
Introduction
Standard tests: tensile test on rectangular
specimen
– Uniform stress state
– Uniaxial stress strain curve
– Very poor information (very boring!)
– Very restrictive assumptions (constraints)

Introduction
Step change: instrumentation
– Standard tests rely on strain gauges /
extensometer
– Point or average/global measurements
Need for a priori stress distribution
Technological breakthrough
– Full-field strain measurements
– Thousands or more simultaneous measurement
points
– Relieves usual constraints on testing
configurations

Tools for solving this problem
– Model updating
Idea: iterative use of tool for direct problem
(analytical or approximate)

Model updating
– Advantages
General method (full-field measurements not
compulsory)
Tools already developed
– Shortcomings
Sensitive to boundary conditions (generally badly
known)
CPU intensive (for numerical approximations and
non-linear equations…)
Not fully dedicated to full-field measurements

Alternative tool: the Virtual Fields Method
