A computational method on process optimal control for finite deformation problems

On the principle of non-incremental algorithm, some basic ideas of process optimal control iterative algorithm, based on the Optimal Control Variational Principle in Mechanics, is proposed in this paper. Then the essential governing equations are presented. This work provides a new method to achieve the numerical solutions of the mechanic of finite deformation.
