Virtual Principles in Aircraft Structures

The basic partial differential equations for the stresses and displacements in clas­ sical three dimensional elasticity theory can be set up in three ways: (1) to solve for the displacements first and then the stresses; (2) to solve for the stresses first and then the displacements; and (3) to solve for both stresses and displacements simultaneously. These three methods are identified in the liter...
