Abstract

The study presents an experimental verification of Wagner et al.’s relationship in microscale and proposes a modification of this relationship. For this purpose, 11 cubic specimens were microcomputed tomography scanned and mechanically tested with the displacement full-field measurements using a digital image correlation system. Then, numerical simulations of the compression tests were performed using a finite elements method. The Young’s modulus distributions assigned to the finite elements models were calculated using both of Wagner et al.’s relationships: original and modified. Comparison of the experimental and numerical results indicated the accuracy of numerical solutions for both relationships.
