The results from experimental measurements of test specimens of given material were used for identification of parameter of Bodner-Partom model by using procedures based on genetic algorithms. The parameters of material were then used in computations by procedure UMAT of finite element program ABAQUS. The results of computations demonstrate ability of model to simulate material behavior with satisfied accuracy.
