They are based on a Newton-Raphson procedure and a genetic algorithm. As basis serves an experimental investigation of the viscous properties of rubber blends by means of a capillaryviscometer. Because of simultaneous consideration of wall slippage, temperature and of the die swell, the proposed material characterisation is represented by a coupled system of nonlinear equations. Describing their solutions requires a numerical integration algorithm. For this purpose a generalized Newton-Raphson scheme has been adopted. The verification of the developed parameter identification was done by means of another approach which is based on a genetic algorithm.}, type={Article}, title={Experimental investigation and identification of material parameters for rubber blends}, URL={http://ochroma.man.poznan.pl/Content/124917/PDF/6_MECHANICAL_53_2006_3_Mullner_Experimental.pdf}, keywords={capillary-viscometer, viscosity function, Newton-Raphson procedure, genetic algorithm}, }
