This page serves as an overview and summary of material test data that we can share with each other. Often times it is hard to find the right set of test data to calibrate a particular material model. We hope that you might also contribute some test data to this pool of shared test data. The links below will take you to individual posts that contain test data for a particular material. We will continue to add to this post with additional test data as it becomes available. Please contact me if you can add test data to share with other Abaqus users.
Thanks , Tod
