Material parameter identification using model reduction to uniaxial tensile test

Mechanical properties determination of dual-phase steels using uniaxial tensile and hydraulic bulge test

Numerical simulations of sheet metal forming processes need the establishment of highly reliable results, which in turn need the accurate identification of mechanical properties. In this paper a study is presented on the choice of the characterization function of flow stress-strain curve of sheet metal materials, as well as the selection of the best yield locus, based on experimental uniaxial t...

Identification of Orthotropic Plate Stiffness Using Open Hole Tensile Test

Identification of mechanical parameters is still a challenge on real structures. With the improvement of optical full field measurement techniques, it becomes easier, but in spite of many publications showing the feasibility of such methods, experimental results are still scarce. We present here a first step towards a global approach of mechanical identification for composite materials. The cho...

Uniaxial Tensile Test and Constitutive Modelling of Human Perivascular Adipose Tissue

All the human blood vessels are surrounded by adipose tissue. Therefore in biomechanics of blood vessels, it is important to deal not only with the constitutive modelling of blood vessels as such but also with the mechanical properties of surrounding tissue. In this study, mechanical response of human perivascular adipose tissue that surrounds the abdominal aorta is concerned. From the performe...

Dynamic Uniaxial Strain Model for Plasma-sprayed Material

Nonlinear Uniaxial Material Model for Reinforcing Steel Bars

Recent advances in nonlinear analysis of reinforced concrete structures have been based primarily on fiber-based discretization of the member cross section at locations of expected inelastic action. However, the accuracy of a fiber-section model is almost entirely dependent on the ability of constitutive material models to represent the overall inelastic behavior of the member. The postyield re...
