In the field of virtual mechanical design, the robustness and reliability of a mechanical model depends strongly on the experimental database used for the calibration, I.e., the richness/completeness of the database and the closeness to the material used in production. At the moment, within an industrial context, the link between the virtual material and the real one used in production is not strong enough, and at the best, is obtained on other batches, in different aged states or thicknesses. The aim of the AutoMeCal project is to provide, rapidly and efficiently, a calibration of advanced mechanical models from the batch used in production. To this end, an automated mechanical characterization and model calibration will be developed, to provide, by an inverse methodology, the material parameters needed for the virtual design of the forming process and/or the structural design.
