A Neural Network Inverse Optimization Procedure for Constitutive Parameter Identification and Failure Mode Estimation of Laterally Loaded Unreinforced Masonry Walls

A new Neural Network Optimization (NNO) algorithm for constitutive material parameter identification based on inverse analysis of experimental tests of small-scale masonry prisms under compressive loads is presented. The Concrete Damaged Plasticity (CDP) constitutive model is used for the brick and...
