A Fourier-series-based virtual fields method for the identification of 2-D stiffness and traction distributions

The Virtual Fields Method (VFM) allows spatial distributions of material properties to be calculated from experimentally-determined strain fields. A numerically-efficient Fourier series-based extension to the VFM (the F-VFM) has recently been developed, in which the unknown stiffness distribution is...
