Iutam Symposium on Variational Concepts with Applications to the Mechanics of Materials: Proceedings of the Iutam Symposium on Variational Concepts wi

by Klaus Hackl

Variational calculus has been the basis of a variety of powerful methods in the ?eld of mechanics of materials for a long time. Examples range from numerical schemes like the ?nite element method to the determination of effective material properties via homogenization and multiscale approaches. In recent years, however, a broad range of novel applications of variational concepts has been developed. This c- prises the modeling of the evolution of internal...
