Abstract

Variational principles represent a general framework for determining the mechanical state of a system, by identifying its motion as a minimum of a pertinent functional. Moreover, finite element methods are naturally based on variational principles and provide a very powerful tool for numerically solving many mechanical as well as other multi-physics problems. The purpose of the present note is to illustrate some recent applications with special reference to biomechanics and dissipation in quasi-brittle materials and piezo-electromechanical structures, in order to confirm the validation and to highlight the bright prospects of this method.
