Abstract

AbstractIn this chapter the variational characterizations of a solution to a boundary value problem of elastostatics are recalled. They include the principle of minimum potential energy, the principle of minimum complementary energy, the Hu-Washizu principle, and the compatibility related principle for a traction problem. The variational principles are then used to solve typical problems of elastostatics.KeywordsElastostaticsMinimum Complementary EnergyTractable ProblemSymmetric Second-order Tensor FieldMixed ProblemThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
