Experimental methods enable in-situ measuring deformations of any kind of structures and enable drawing conclusions over the actual state of the structures. However, to obtain reliable knowledge of the real internal conditions like the strength of materials and the actual stress-state, as well as of their changes over time, caused by ageing, fatigue and environmental influences, always an inverse problem must be solved. That requires special mathematical algorithms. Especially for time-depending material response it might be quite important to know the material parameters at any time and furthermore the internal stress-state also. Therefore, a method will be presented to solve the inverse problem of parameter identification with reference to linear visco-elastic materials.}, type={Article}, title={Experimental/numerical parameter identification for visco-elastic problems}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/125015/PDF/8_MECHANICAL_51_2004_4_Laermann_Experimental.pdf}, keywords={inverse problems, parameter identification, visco-elasticity}, }
