Abstract

En 中文
We propose a method to accurately and efficiently identify the constitutive behavior of complex materials through full-field observations. We formulate the problem of inferring constitutive relations from experiments as an indirect inverse problem that is constrained by the balance laws. Specifically, we seek to find a constitutive relation that minimizes the difference between the experimental observation and the corresponding quantities computed with the model, while enforcing the balance laws. We formulate the forward problem as a boundary value problem corresponding to the experiment, and compute the sensitivity of the objective with respect to model using the adjoint method. The resulting method is robust and can be applied to constitutive models with arbitrary complexity. We focus on elasto-viscoplasticity, but the approach can be extended to other settings. In this part one, we formulate the method and demonstrate it using synthetic data on two problems, one quasistatic and the other dynamic.
