Abstract
Among the general theorems of mechanics the most valuable for applications to equilibrium problems and to constrained maximization or minimization problems is the energy theorem. Associated with this theorem are not only important results of the duality theory but also effective methods for obtaining numerical solutions of optimization problems. The present chapter is,therefore,devoted to the energy theorem and its important consequences.
