Hu Washizu principle

In continuum mechanics, and in particular in finite element analysis, the Hu-Washizu principle is a variational principle which says that the action is stationary, where C is the elastic stiffness tensor. ^[1]

Variational principle

A variational principle is a scientific principle used within the calculus of variations, which develops general methods for finding functions which extremize the value of quantities that depend upon those functions.
