Abstract

This contribution is concerned with duality techniques in the physical and material spaces. Variational formulations for the primal physical and primal material problem are derived and we introduce the corresponding dual problems. The dual solutions in the physical and material spaces can be used to compute the changes in a certain quantity of interest for arbitrary given changes in the physical and material residual, respectively.
