DIC Course Lecture 3

Lecture 3: Digital twin for material identification and model validation (duration:1h00)

This session summarizes and reiterates on the import aspects of the following on-line provided courses:

  • Lecture 6: Material Identification
  • Lecture 9: Digital Twin

 

Objectives

  • Get the trainee familiar with the basic concepts of the virtual fields method
  • Understand how full-field measurements impact the uncertainty on identified properties
  • Get the trainee familiar with synthetic image deformation and how this helps to validate numerical models

Contents

  • Why combine full-field techniques with material identification: a material testing 2.0 framework
  • How does an inverse method work
  • Introduction of the principle of virtual work
  • How to select virtual fields
  • Case study: orthotropic foam
  • The identification simulator: quantifying systematic and random errors
  • Pitfalls in model validation by DIC
  • The alignment problem
  • The location issue
  • Which regularization parameters to select in order to validate my model?
  • Principles of synthetic image generation
  • Model validation: a stereo perspective

Competencies

  • The trainee has basic knowledge on the application of the virtual fields method.
  • Feeling on how test geometry, DIC settings and hardware equipment might influence the identification process
  • The trainee has basic knowledge on possible pitfalls in model validation and how to interpret the model-measurement different regularization works.
