Indentation causes delamination

Identification of fracture energy Gc and mode II resistance c

noise= 2.5% noise= 5.0%

noise= 7.5% noise= 10%

Future prospects:

• application of the proposed procedure to truly experimental data;

• exploitment of soft computing techniques to avoid computational burden (e.g. artificial neural network);

• statistical approaches (Kalman filter);

• effects of residual stresses.
