Advanced Modeling and Simulation in Engineering Sciencesis calling for submissions to our new Collection. Full field measurement techniques are at the core of the renovation of the scientific field of experimental mechanics. Through a multitude of imaging techniques and length-scales, full-field measurement techniques give access to very rich datasets. One goal is to probe constitutive models more thoroughly and/or extract material parameters (i.e., key data) from big data, a procedure often called model calibration or parameter identification. Kinematic and thermal measurements extracted from these imaging tools may be linked to mechanical models of different material systems by exploiting their synergies, namely, experimental measurements feed models, which in turn enable for the measurement of mechanically significant quantities in a set of images and experimental data. Further, optimal processing can also be used to minimize the effect of measurement uncertainties. This Collection aims to disseminate the recent developments related to the use of full field measurements to devise faithful constitutive models and to calibrate material parameters.
