FE (3-D) sample model. Comparison between the test data and (a) FE predictions of the FE-based optimized model and analytical-based models with and without strain ramp in a typical test, (b) FE prediction of the analytical-based models with cubic sample (original height—h) and cylindrical sample (reduced height—0.7 h).
