ABSTRACT:
A method is disclosed for calibrating a mathematical model of a component using prototype full-field experimentally collected deformation/strain data. Specifically, the method involves obtaining actual experimental field data using strain sensitive coating material and then mapping said data on a CAD mesh model. The analytical mesh model is then compared to a finite element model that is based on theoretical values referred to as boundary conditions. The finite element model boundary conditions are then calibrated to reflect the values derived from the experimental field measurements. Once calibrated, the model can be used to optimize design of components.
