Synergies between the constitutive relation error concept and PGD model reduction for simplified V&V procedures

The paper deals with the constitutive relation error (CRE) concept which has been widely used over the last 40 years for verification and validation of computational mechanics models. It more specifically focuses on the beneficial use of model reduction based on proper generalized decomposition (PGD) into this CRE concept. Indeed, it is shown that a PGD formulation can facilitate the construction of so-called admissible fields which is a technical key-point of CRE. Numerical illustrations, addressing both model verification and model updating, are presented to assess the performances of the proposed approach.

Coupling Modified Constitutive Relation Error, Model Reduction and Kalman Filtering Algorithms for Real-Time Parameters Identification

In this work we propose a new identification strategy based on the coupling between a probabilistic data assimilation method and a deterministic inverse problem approach using the modified Constitutive Relation Error energy functional. The idea is thus to offer efficient identification despite of highly corrupted data for time-dependent systems. In order to perform real-time identification, the modified Constitutive Relation Error is here associated to a model reduction method based on Proper Generalized Decomposition. The proposed strategy is applied to two thermal problems with identification of time-dependent boundary conditions, or material parameters.
