Three different numerical optimisation methods (namely, FE analysis, dimensional mathematical functions and simplified mathematical equations approaches) have been used to determine three material properties; Young's modulus, yield stress and work-hardening exponent. The predictions of the material properties from the three approaches have been validated against the values obtained from uniaxial tensile tests and compared to the experimental loading-unloading curves. In general, the elastic-plastic material properties predicted from these three proposed optimisation methods estimate the Young's modulus to within 6% and the yield stress and work-hardening exponent to within 12%, compared to the values obtained from the uniaxial tensile tests.
