Identification of Material Parameters for Inelastic Constitutive Models: Stochastic Simulation

  • Chapter
Deformation and Failure in Metallic Materials

Abstract

The material parameters of a constitutive model have to be identified by minimization of the distance between the model response and the experimental data using an appropriate optimization algorithm. However, measurement failures and differences in the specimens lead to uncertainties in the determined parameters. Since the amount of test data is not sufficient for a statistical analysis, a method of stochastic simulation is introduced in order to generate artificial data with the same behaviour as the experimental data. The stochastic simulations are validated by comparing the results of the parameter fits from artificial data with the results from experimental data. Furthermore, the results of the parameter identification for different inelastic constitutive models are presented and a principal component analysis is performed to study the correlation structure of the estimated material parameters. The presented simulation method is a suitable tool for various kinds of analysis purposes since the artificial data presents an alternative to a high amount of experimental data.
