TITLE: High Strain Rate Elasto-Plasticity Identification using the
Image-Based Inertial Impact (IBII) Test Part 1: Error Quantification
JOURNAL: Strain

This dataset contains:
1 - Abaqus Finite Element Models
	- 4 Python Codes are included one for each test case
2 - Matlab Code for Synthetic Image Generation
	- Also includes code for converting Abaqus *.rpt files to *.mat
	- Example input data and output included for Aluminium/Linear Hardening Case
3 - Matlab Code for Plasticity Identification on Finite Element Data
	- 4 Codes are included for each test case
	- The FE data for each case is also included as *.mat files
4 - Matlab Code and Data for Parametric Sweep of Processing Parameters
	- Includes codes for the noiseless and noisy cases
	- NOTE: these codes rely on the parallel computing toolbox in Matlab
5 - Synthetic Images for each test case - 4x test cases
	- Aluminium - Linear+Voce Hardening
	- Steel - Linear+Voce Hardening
6 - Error maps for all cases in multiple file formats

NOTE: File naming conventions throughout the dataset conform to that defined in the paper
Key abbreviations are also listed below:
Al = Aluminium
St = Steel
LH/LinH = Linear Hardening
