Abstract In this paper, a computational inverse technique is presented to determine the constitutive parameters of concrete based on the penetration experiments. In this method, the parameter identification problem is formulated as an inverse problem, in which the parameters of the constitutive model can be characterized through minimizing error functions of the penetration depth measured in experiments and that computed by forward solver LS-DYNA. To reduce the time for forward calculation during the inverse procedure, radial basis function approximate model is used to replace the actual computational model. In order to improve the accuracy of approximation More >
