Optimised experimental characterisation of polymeric foam material using DIC and the Virtual Fields Method

This article presents a methodology to optimize the design of a realistic mechanical test to characterize the material elastic stiffness parameters of an orthotropic PVC foam material in one single test. Two main experimental techniques were used in this study: Digital Image Correlation (DIC) and th...
