THE GENERALIZED PRINCIPLE OF VIRTUAL WORK
Abstract
When the virtual work is considered as a time integral of virtual power, a generalized form of the virtual work principle is obtained. The Euler-Lagrange equation of it gives an equation for the divergence of the Truesdell rate of stress. The equation of motion on the stress rate field is one of the results of this paper.
