Abstract
This study develops the general quasi-variational principles for non-conservative problems in the theory of elasticity such as the quasi-potential energy principle, the quasi-complementary energy principle, the generalized quasi-variational principle and the quasi-Hamilton principle. The application of these quasi-variational principles to finite element analysis is also discussed and illustrated with some examples.
