The human abdominal wall is an object of interest to the research community in the context of ventral hernia repair. Computer models require a priori knowledge of constitutive parameters in order to establish its mechanical response. In this work, the Finite Element Model Updating (FEMU) method is used to identify an heterogeneous shear modulus distribution for a human abdominal wall model, which is based on nonlinear isogeometric Kirchhoff-Love shell formulation and the geometry obtained experimentally. Displacements on the boundary are fixed, and an intraperitoneal pressure of 1600 Pa is applied. A hyperelastic Koiter-Gasser-Ogden-Holzapfel shell material model is used. The heterogeneous distribution of the shear modulus is interpolated by 24 nodal values. The inverse solution is obtained by the minimization of the objective function, based on the difference between the deformation obtained from the analysis and the experiment – here an experiment-like FE solution with prescribed reference material distribution, and addition of Gaussian noise. The mean relative error between reference solution and identified parameters is 1.34 %, while stress and bending moments deviations are below 0.01%.
