| description | This paper deals with the optimization of a
mechanical test performed on a composite plate specimen.
Heterogeneous stress fields which take place in
the plate specimen are processed with the virtual fields
method to identify the bending rigidities. Various design
parameters such as the support locations or the
specimen shape are optimized in the present work. Results
obtained are discussed and the best compromise
between the quality of the results and the convenience
in the practical realization of the tests is proposed. |
