Neither macroscopic mechanical tests nor microscopic characterization techniques can directly measure their properties. Furthermore, the macroscopic response is governed by strongly coupled parameters, leading to non-unique inverse solutions. This study introduces a hybrid inverse calibration framework with Tikhonov regularization based on a scalarized multi-objective formulation that integrates global parameter-space exploration to determine bond parameters. The methodology simultaneously considers uniaxial compression, three-point bending, and shear tests, ensuring consistency across loading modes. The framework is demonstrated on saturated spherical glass-bead specimens as a controlled model frozen particle system, and is applied across multiple temperatures and two representative loading rates, identifying condition-specific bond-parameter sets whose trends are consistent with the physical behavior of ice bonds.en0032-59102026Elsevierhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Bonded-Particle Model (BPM)Discrete Element Method (DEM)Frozen particle-fluid systemsInverse parameter identificationMulti-objective calibrationTechnology::620: Engineering::620.1: Engineering Mechanics and Materials ScienceJournal Article10.1016/j.powtec.2026.12283810.15480/882.17598
