The VFM for Force Reconstruction

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
The Virtual Fields Method

Abstract

The objective of this section is to show some examples of how the Virtual Fields Method can be used to identify force instead of constitutive parameters. The theoretical bases for this are developed in Sect. 5.6, Page 156. Examples given here are all related to high strain rate testing where load measurement is a significant experimental problem.
