Variational methods -- pt. 2. Physical applications -- pt. 3. Optimization. 330 $aThere is a resurgence of applications in which the calculus of variations has direct relevance. In addition to application to solid mechanics and dynamics, it is now being applied in a variety of numerical methods, numerical grid generation, modern physics, various optimization settings and fluid dynamics. Many applications, such as nonlinear optimal control theory applied to continuous systems, have only recently become tractable computationally, with the advent of advanced algorithms and large computer systems. This book reflects the strong connection between calculus of variations and the applications for which variational methods form the fundamental foundation. The mathematical fundamentals of calculus of variations (at least those necessary to pursue applications) is rather compact and is contained in a single chapter of the book. The majority of the text consists of applications of variational calculus for a variety of fields. 517 3 $aVariational Methods with Applications in Science & Engineering 606 $aVariational principles 606 $aScience$xMethodology 606 $aEngineering$xMethodology 615 0$aVariational principles. 615 0$aScience$xMethodology. 615 0$aEngineering$xMethodology. 676 $a515/.64 700 $aCassel$b Kevin W.$f1966-$01570664 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910779749303321 996 $aVariational methods with applications in science and engineering$93844490 997 $aUNINA
