Full‐field optical measurements like digital image correlation or the grid method have
brought a paradigm shift in the experimental mechanics community. While inverse …

With the advent of camera‐based full‐field measurement techniques such as digital image
correlation (DIC), researchers have been trying to exploit such rich data sets through the use …

The large strain flow curve is an essential input for the calibration of a myriad of plasticity
models required for accurately simulating sheet metal forming processes and the …

Abstract The Virtual Fields Method (VFM) is a well established inverse technique used to
identify the constitutive parameters of material models using heterogeneous full-field strain …

The hydraulic bulge test (HBT) is an important experimental technique to identify the
properties of materials and, in particular, metals. One of the main advantages of such …

A procedure is presented to identify the post-necking work hardening behaviour of thick HSS
steels using a standard uniaxial tensile machine. The pre-necking strain hardening …

The adoption of full-field digital image correlation (DIC) strain measurement in recent years
has fundamentally transformed conventional analysis procedures for the mechanical …

Simple shear tests are an increasingly attractive method to determine the equivalent stress-
strain response of sheet metals. Unlike uniaxial tensile tests, shear tests can reveal the …

The uniaxial tensile test is well-established for experimentally identifying the stress–strain
relationship for sheet metals. Conventionally, true stress–strain data obtained from the test …

The strain hardening behavior of structural steels is of significant importance for the
elastoplastic response prediction and the collapse resistant evaluation of steel components …
