Generalized sub-region mixed and hybrid variational principlesin nonlinear elastodynamics

In this paper, the Hu-Washizu generalized variational principle isextended to nonlinear elastodynamics with five independent fields. The twokinds of framework of functional, the potential energy and complementaryenergy expressions containing the subsidiary conditions with Lagrangemultipliers are suggested. According to the principle of stationaryfunctional, we have the governing equations and Lagrange multipliersdetermened by the results of variation. The generalized sub-region mixed andhybrid variational principle in nonlinear elastodynamics is presented.Supported by National Natural ScienceFoundation of China.
