Abstract
In this work, a new, simple method is presented, which enables identification of material properties of solids basing on the digital image correlation (DIC) measurements. It may be considered as a simplified alternative of low computational complexity for the well-known finite element model updating (FEMU) method and virtual fields method (VFM). The idea of the introduced sub-global equilibrium (SGE) method is to utilize the fundamental concept and definition of internal forces and its equilibrium with appropriate set of external forces. This makes the method universal for the use in the description of a great variety of continua. The objective function is the measure of imbalance, namely the sum of squares of residua of equilibrium equations of external forces and internal forces determined for finite-sized part of the sample. It is then minimized with the use of the Nelder–Mead downhill simplex algorithm. The efficiency of the proposed SGE method is shown for two types of materials: 310 S austenitic steel and carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP). The proposed method was also verified based on FE analysis showing error estimation.
