Abstract
Abstract Numerical simulations have become essential in engineering and manufacturing processes involving plasticity. The reliability and effectiveness of the simulations depend strongly on the accuracy of the adopted constitutive model. Accordingly, in recent years, an increasing interest is pointed towards experimental procedures and characterization methods that can be used to identify the constitutive parameters of advanced plasticity models, which allow to simulate properly the plastic behaviour of complex materials like, for instance, high strength steel. This paper provides a thorough review of the current state‐of‐the‐art, looking at both academia and industry. The available methodologies can be subdivided in two main areas: quasi‐homogeneous material tests with analytical or numerical post‐treatment of the experimental data and heterogeneous tests coupled with inverse methods for parameter identification. For each method, a brief description and references to norms and articles is provided, illustrating the advantages and the disadvantages.
