Summary:

Whole field displacement/strain measurement of automotive components can be done efficiently by digital image correlation based technique. Inverse problems with this kind of input data, such as the identification of damage parameters/effective modulus in different part of a component, can be pursued by either virtual fields method or finite element model updating. In this paper, the two methods are applied to the identification of a tension plate with a circular hole, and different aspects of the two methods are discussed. It is found that the success of virtual fields method relies on the choice of a set of optimal virtual displacement fields; finite element model updating, on the other hand, can be applied to any geometry and any load condition, and can also be applied to problems where only limited number of measurements are available. However, its performance relies on the choice of optimization algorithms
