We g ive a non-intrusive, in-situ and inexpensive approach to measure the nonli near elastic energy density function of man-made materials and biological tissues. We poke the elastic object with 3d-printed rigid cylinders of kno wn radii, and use a precision force meter to record the contact force as a function of the indentation depth, which we measure using a force meter s tand, or a novel unconstrained laser setup. We model the 3D elastic solid using the Finite Element Method (FEM), and elastic energy using a compress ible Valanis-Landel material that generalizes Neo-Hookean materials by per mitting arbitrary tensile behavior under large deformations. We then use o ptimization to fit the nonlinear isotropic elastic energy so that the FEM contact forces and indentations match their measured real-world counterpar ts. Because we use carefully designed cubic splines, our materials are acc urate in a large range of stretches and robust to inversions, and are ther efore "animation-ready" for computer graphics applications. We demonstrate how to exploit radial symmetry to convert the 3D elastostatic contact pro blem to the mathematically equivalent 2D problem, which vastly accelerates optimization. We also greatly improve the theory and robustness of stretc h-based elastic materials, by giving a simple and elegant formula to compu te the tangent stiffness matrix, with rigorous proofs and singularity hand ling. We also contribute the observation that volume compressibility can b e estimated by poking with rigid cylinders of different radii, which avoid s optical cameras and greatly simplifies experiments. We validate our meth od by performing full 3D simulations using the optimized materials and con firming that they match real-world forces, indentations and real deformed 3D shapes. We also validate it using a ``Shore 00'' durometer, a standard device for measuring material hardness.\n\nRegistration Category: Full Acc ess URL:https://asia.siggraph.org/2023/full-program?id=papers_1020&sess=sess16 5 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
