In the present study we examine this problem in relation to Copper specimens covered by Silver used in photovoltaic modules as electrical conductors. Uniaxial tensile tests on un-notched and notched specimens are performed with a tensile stage inside a scanning electron microscope, monitoring crack growth for each imposed far-field displacement. Parameters identification is then performed by considering an elasto-plastic constitutive relation with isotropic hardening for the continuum and a polynomial cohesive zone model (CZM) with two free parameters. For a better numerical-experimental fitting, a four-parameter CZM should be used to independently control the CZM stiffness and the fracture energy. To do so effectively, a constrained optimization procedure with a two-scale objective function is outlined. date: 2015 date_type: published publication: COMPLAS XIII : proceedings of the XIII International Conference on Computational Plasticity : fundamentals and applications publisher: CIMNE pagerange: 922-931 event_title: XIII International Conference on Computational Plasticity: fundamentals and applications (COMPLAS 2015) event_location: Barcelona, Spain event_dates: September 1-3, 2015 event_type: conference refereed: TRUE isbn: 978-84-944244-6-5 book_title: Proceedings of the XIII International Conference on Computational Plasticity: fundamentals and applications (COMPLAS 2015) official_url: http://hdl.handle.net/2117/81381 citation: Carollo, Valerio and Borri, Claudia and Paggi, Marco A two-scale constitutive parameters identification procedure for elasto-plastic fracture.
