From: An inverse method to determine the mechanical properties of the iris in vivo

Flow chart of the inverse method. Before running, initial parameters were set including the specifications for the MIGA and initial material parameters of the in vivo iris, and the experimental results were input. Then the optimal strategy the MIGA was adopted to produce new material parameters, using the new parameters the software ABQUS calculated model-stimulated results of the displacement in Y direction. According to Formula 2, the value of the objective functional was calculated. Thus one run is over. When the generation reached its maximum number, the optimization would end. Finally the minimum value of the objective functional was got by comparison, responding material parameters were determined which were also called the material parameters of the in vivo iris.
