Virtual Work and Shape Change in Solid Mechanics

Virtual Work and Shape Change in Solid Mechanics by Michel Frémond.

This book provides novel insights into two basic subjects in solid mechanics: virtual work and shape change. When we move a solid, the work we expend in moving it is used to modify both its shape and its velocity. This observation leads to the Principle of Virtual Work. Virtual work depends linearly...
