Numerical study of the mechanics of indentation bending tests of thin membranes and inverse materials parameters prediction

Indentation bending tests are an important testing method for thin rubber-like materials. The choice of material laws in finite element (FE) simulations of the test directly influences the accuracy of the numerical model and material properties predicted through inverse FE modelling. In this work, t...
