Different Ways of Identifying Microplane Model Parameters Using Soft Computing Methods

摘要

The problem of inverse analysis occurs in many engineering tasks and, as such, attains several different forms and can be solved by many very distinct methods. In this paper, we present an overview of two basic philosophies of the inverse analysis with an emphasis put on the area of soft-computing methods. Practical aspects will be shown on several identification tasks, where parameters of a highly non-linear material model based on the microplane paradigm are searched.
