We give a non-intrusive, in-situ and inexpensive approach to measure the nonlinear elastic energy density function of man-made materials and biological tissu es. We poke the elastic object with 3d-printed rigid cylinders of known ra dii, and use a precision force meter to record the contact force as a func tion of the indentation depth, which we measure using a force meter stand, or a novel unconstrained laser setup. We model the 3D elastic solid using the Finite Element Method (FEM), and elastic energy using a compressible Valanis-Landel material that generalizes Neo-Hookean materials by permitti ng arbitrary tensile behavior under large deformations. We then use optimi zation to fit the nonlinear isotropic elastic energy so that the FEM conta ct forces and indentations match their measured real-world counterparts. B ecause we use carefully designed cubic splines, our materials are accurate in a large range of stretches and robust to inversions, and are therefore "animation-ready" for computer graphics applications. We demonstrate how to exploit radial symmetry to convert the 3D elastostatic contact problem to the mathematically equivalent 2D problem, which vastly accelerates opti mization. We also greatly improve the theory and robustness of stretch-bas ed elastic materials, by giving a simple and elegant formula to compute th e tangent stiffness matrix, with rigorous proofs and singularity handling. We also contribute the observation that volume compressibility can be est imated by poking with rigid cylinders of different radii, which avoids opt ical cameras and greatly simplifies experiments. We validate our method by performing full 3D simulations using the optimized materials and confirmi ng that they match real-world forces, indentations and real deformed 3D sh apes. We also validate it using a ``Shore 00'' durometer, a standard devic e for measuring material hardness.\n\nRegistration Category: Full Access, Enhanced Access, Trade Exhibitor, Experience Hall Exhibitor URL:https://asia.siggraph.org/2023/full-program?id=papers_1020&sess=sess20 9 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
