Characterization of Two-Dimensional Heterogeneous Materials Using Full-Field Strain Data and Finite Element Analysis
摘要
This paper presents a novel approach for characterizing two-dimensional heterogeneous materials using full-field strain data in conjunction with the finite element method (FEM). Material property identification (MPI) involves solution of equilibrium equations using FEM with material properties as unknown variable and strain/displacement as known variables. The MPI algorithm is validated using synthetically generated strain data for a known heterogeneous material distribution. Robustness of the MPI algorithm is verified by comparing errors in the predicted results using varying levels of noise in the input strain data.
