Application of the virtual fields method to the identification of the homogeneous anisotropic hardening parameters for advanced high strength steels

In the present paper, an inverse problem solution so called the virtual fields method (VFM) is implemented to identify the parameters of the homogeneous anisotropic hardening (HAH) model, a distortional plasticity-based model that describes the material plastic behavior when subjected to strain path changes. The framework of the identification method that combines the formulation of the yield condition, the constitutive stress–strain relation...
