An inverse method for determining the spatially resolved properties of viscoelastic–viscoplastic three-dimensional printed materials

A method using experimental nanoindentation and inverse finite-element analysis (FEA) has been developed that enables the spatial variation of material constitutive properties to be accurately determined. The method was used to measure property variation in a three-dimensional printed (3DP) polymeri...
