Simulation-Based Material Characterization

A method for use by a system including a computing platform having a hardware processor and a system memory storing a software code, the method comprising:

• obtaining, by the software code executed by the hardware processor, a result of a physical test performed on a material;
• selecting, by the software code executed by the hardware processor, a parameterized model of the material based on the obtained result;
• performing, by the software code executed by the hardware processor, a simulation of the physical test using the parameterized model of the material to generate a simulated result;
• performing, by the software code executed by the hardware processor, a comparison of the simulated result of the simulation of the physical test on the parameterized model of the material with the obtained result of the physical test on the material;
• adjusting at least one parameter value of the parameterized model, by the software code executed by the hardware processor, based on the comparison, to improve the simulated result;
• and
• predicting, by the software code executed by the hardware processor after adjusting the at least on parameter value, at least one characteristic of the material based on the parameterized model of the material.

An object produced according to a method comprising:

• obtaining a result of a physical test performed on a material;
• selecting a parameterized model of the material based on the obtained result;
• performing a simulation of the physical test using the parameterized model of the material to generate a simulated result;
• performing a comparison of the simulated result of the simulation of the physical test on the parameterized model of the material with the obtained result of the physical test on the material;
• adjusting at least one parameter value of the parameterized model, based on the comparison, to improve the simulated result;
• predicting, after adjusting the at least one parameter value, at least one characteristic of the material based on the parameterized model of the material;
• and
• manufacturing the object based on the at least one predicted characteristic.
